Just a quick reminder that we are going to Wild Type Ranch this
Sunday!
The group will be leaving the Brazos Natural Foods parking lot at 1pm.
Also if you are interested in getting a local turkey for your
Thanksgiving Dinner check out Richardson Farms http://www.richardsonfarms.com/

The Brazos Locavores' October Farm Tour is planned for Oct 24th to
Wild Type Ranch. Wild Type Ranch produces sustainably-raised beef and
veal in Cameron, TX, about an hour north of Bryan and distributes
throughout Central Texas through a variety of farmers’ markets,
including Bryan and at grocery stores like Village Foods. Founded in
2005, Wild Type Ranch is composed of an amazing 333 acres, but what
they pride themselves on is quality. “The founding principle of Wild
Type Ranch is respect for all life. We believe in responsible
stewardship of the animals, the land, and the world which sustains
us."

Check out their website for more information: http://www.wildtyperanch.com/

Who : Everyone! The trip is free but we will be collecting donations
to support the Milam County Food Pantry.

When : Sunday, Oct 24 (1PM – 5PM)

Where : Meet-up at Brazos Natural Foods (4303 S. Texas Ave in Bryan)
and carpool out to the farm

RSVP : to Brad at brazosl...@gmail.com by Wednesday, Oct 20th so
that I can print enough driving directions and alert the farm to the
number of visitors.
