Eat Local Farm Tour to visit Cedar Summit on July 30

Cedar Summit Dairy Farm in New Prague, MN will be featured on the southwest leg of the Eat Local Farm Tour on Saturday, July 30th. Tour goers will be able to meet owner Dave Minar along with visiting the creamery and production facility, including viewing cows, pigs, and chickens at pasture. “Our population today is far removed from agriculture,” says Minar. “We need to educate our next generation on the importance of a sustainable local food system. Local food doesn’t have to travel far, helping us conserve our resources. Moreover, it is about getting to meet the farmer and seeing what his operation is all about. It helps build trust and a positive relationship, which is key to selling any product.” Many local farms have committed to participating in this year’s tour.

On Saturday, July 30th, the Cedar Summit farm store will be open from 9am until noon. Dave will begin his tour of the farm at 11am. Join us!
