Are you an urban or suburban mom who is curious about how your family’s food is grown? Do you have questions about food safety? Have your buying habits been impacted by what you’ve read about practices on today’s farms? Over the next year, Illinois Farm Families will offer the opportunity for a group of moms to tour Illinois farms and get answers to their food questions from the farmers themselves. See videos, read blogs about the 2012 field moms’ experiences and find an application for 2013 field moms at www.watchusgrow.org.
Keep In Touch
Each month Illinois Farm Families sends an email to subscribers who are interested in learning more about food and farming. The emails cover current topics from the points of view of both farmers and the field moms. They also often include recipes, coupons and special offers.
