Description

Join the Chippewa County Farmers Union for a tour of Siverling Centennial Farm, followed by dinner and our annual chapter meeting. Jared Siverling and Vanessa Klemish will show us their 320-acre family farm, which has been in the Siverling family since 1914. The certified-organic farm raises field crops, rotationally pastured beef, vegetables, and other farm products.

After the tour, the chapter will provide hot sandwiches and additional food for dinner.
