Please join us at a brewing and ice cream making demonstration to help
Grinnell Heritage Farm celebrate the completion of its packing shed addition
with a “Farm Shed Warming” at 3 pm on Sunday, August 14th at Grinnell
Heritage Farm.

Brooks Davis will be demonstrating beer brewing (with the finished version
on tap) along with homemade ice cream and soda from Peace Tree Brewery in
Knoxville, Iowa. All are welcome to attend and see Grinnell Heritage Farm’s
packing shed expansion and farm operation. There is a suggested $5 donation
to help cover the costs of the event.

Grinnell Heritage Farm, owned and operated by Andrew and Melissa Dunham, is
located at 1933 Penrose Street in Grinnell and produces USDA organic
vegetables, flowers and herbs. The farm offers Community Supported
Agriculture (CSA) shares from May through December. CSA shareholders receive
a weekly box of vegetables and herbs over the course of the growing season.
Andrew is a 5th generation Iowa farmer. The 80-acre farm, located northeast
of Grinnell, has been in the family for 153 years, and is counted amongst
the oldest family farms in central Iowa. Visit grinnellheritagefarm.com for
