News from Garfield Farm |
CAMPTON HILLS, IL: On Sunday, May 3, 2009 at 2 p.m., Garfield Farm
Museum has invited Farmer Tim Fuller to give a Community-Supported
Agriculture (CSA) Farm lecture. The talk will be centered around
organic and CSA farming and what it means today. It will be an
open forum for anyone with questions or for those just curious about
this new trend in food production. For those wishing to hear and
see more, the lecture will conclude with an invitation to see the
farming in action with a short tour of Mr. Fuller's CSA fields and what
steps he takes to keep his produce as organic as possible.
Tim Fuller farms his CSA farm, Erehwon Farm, on leased land from
Garfield Farm Museum and is a partner of Heritage Prairie Market; a
local market and educational center which strives to help bring
visitors closer to nature and the land; to enhance the total food
experience from seed starting to eating, farm to table; and to do so in
a way that fits with your life-style.
Garfield Farm Museum is located 5 miles west of Geneva, IL, off of
Illinois Rt. 38 on Garfield Road. Garfield Farm is a former
historically intact 1840s prairie farmstead and teamster inn that is
being restored as a working 1840s farm. There is a $6 donation
for the lecture and refreshments are included. For other lecture
