Join us for a spring excursion day trip to Moorhead, MN (roughly 3.5 hours west of MSP), on June 9th for an afternoon on the farm with Noreen Thomas​ of Doubting Thomas Farms. Noreen has been trailblazing in organic local farming, often focusing on heritage varieties that have caught the attention of renowned chefs, including Dan Barber of Blue Hill at Stone Barn, who sources grains from her, as well as Molly Yeh of the Food Network, and additional James Beard award winning chefs. We will begin the day with a walking tour of the farm to learn how it is integrated with the local ecosystem and natural environment. Lunch will be provided by Heart and Soul​ food truck, a nonprofit focusing on local foods. We will also hear from leaders of Farm in the Dell​, who support folks with special needs and provides job training, fulfills a local CSA, and provides food for pop-up restaurants. You will also have a chance to purchase goods from local vendors, including fresh eggs, artisan loaves of bread made from wheat from the farm you are touring, etc.
