Dan Busby (MDARD and SWCS Region 2 Representative) and Pepper Bromelmeier (Antrim County NRCS) have organized a tour of Providence Farms & Community Supported Agriculture operation owned  by Ryan and Andrea Romeyn. Participants can learn about their unique conservation practices on a certified organic farm that grows more than 200 varieties of certified organic vegetables. They also raise pastured pork, beef, and lamb; market produce from the farm; and run a thriving cafe. 

Learn more about the farm at their website, and register for the field trip. There is no charge for attendance, but we do want attendees to register so that we can arrange for carpooling to the site (approximately 25 minutes from Shanty Creek Resort). Follow survey link to register here.
