We met Susan in La Crosse, Wisconsin at the Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Conference in February. Her concerts support two other non-profits in sustainable agriculture, Practical Farmers of Iowa and The Land Institute of Salina, Kansas  

If you were to put the corporate mission statement of Iroquois Valley Farms to music, it would be redundant. Susan Werner, with her native Iowa farm roots, has already done it. She combines a great sense of humor with hard working musical talent, while singing the importance of family farms and healthy foods/soils. I recently attended her Hayseed tour in Chicago and immediately saw that we shared much common ground. What fun to connect over a bale of hay! As information, all our farmers grow hay as part of an organic crop rotation. We also hope to be announcing soon our growing impact in the New York foodshed.

Susan's tour continues through the East, Southeast and Midwest into next year. You can obtain ticketing details, and I highly recommend this, a reservation, from her website www.susanwerner.com. If you are in the New York area, you can catch her today and tomorrow at the Falcoln Ridge Folk Festival in Hillsdale, N.Y.

Iroquois Valley Farms is pleased to sponsor Susan Werner and to have been a sponsor of conferences at both Practical Farmer's of Iowa and the Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service (Wisconsin) earlier this year. We hope to connect soon with The Land Institute in Salina, Kansas. Information on all three of these outstanding supporters of sustainable agriculture can be obtained by clicking on their logos below. Please consider a donation.
