Autumnwood Farm Hosts 4th Annual Farm City Day

Autumnwood Farm, founded in 1902, is a family owned dairy farm whose milk is produced only by grass-fed cows. This weekend, Autumnwood is hosting their 4th Annual City Farm Day, a fun-looking event whose goal is to "bridge the gap between the consumer and the agricultural community." In my experience, this "gap" is more like a grand canyon, so events like these are much needed. Here are the details, straight from the farm's press release:

Minneapolis, MN, March 27, 2011- Autumnwood Farm would like to extend an invitation to join them for an entertaining family afternoon at Autumnwood Farm (19435 Granada Ave. N., Forest Lake, MN 55025) on June 5th from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m.

Attendees can go on creamery tours and hayrides, see how Autumnwood milk is made, and experience the inner workings of a farm as well as hourly cow milking demonstrations. For the younger kids a barn filled with small farm tools and baby animals will be available.

Autumnwood Farm will also be providing lunch for the event. Hot dogs, chips, baked beans and Autumnwood milk will be available for everyone.

 “The best part about hosting this event is getting to meet the people who enjoy our products. Being able to show our customers how much we appreciate them and allow them to see the inner workings of the farm and their milk comes from is an incredibly rewarding part of our job”, said Pat Daninger (Owner of Autumnwood Farm).

Admission to this event is free, but donations will be accepted and given to Agricultural Scholarships.
