Brazos Locavores – January 30st Field Trip Announcement

[Brazos Locavores]

We’re heading back to Millican for our January field trip!

Tanya Miller of Millican Farms is well-known in these parts for her
amazing greenhouse operation (just 7 miles south of BCS) which brings
ripe juicy tomatoes to the Brazos Valley between January and May. Her
tomatoes can be found at the Farmers Market on Saturday morning, at
Village Foods in Bryan, and at the Kroger Grocery on Rock Prairie in
College Station.

But Millican Produce is more than tomatoes. The greenhouse is also
home to English cucumbers, watermelons, and herbs; while out in the
fields Millican Farms has 2 acres of land for their vegetable CSA.

Join the Brazos Locavores on January 30 and experience the magic of
ripe tomatoes in the middle of winter!

Here’s the scoop:

* When: Sunday, January 30 (1:00 – 4:00)
* Where: Brazos Natural Foods (we’ll be meeting in the parking lot
and carpooling out to Millican Farms http://millicanfarms.com/blog/)
* RSVP: to brazosl...@gmail.com by Wednesday January 26th
(this allows us to prepare the farm for the number of visitors)

Everyone is welcome, the trip is completely free, and don’t forget to
bring the kids. These field trips are a wonderful opportunity to teach
our little ones about where good food originates.

If you have any questions, just let me know. See you there!
