Farm Shed Warming Sunday August 14th @ 3pm

[Brooks Davis]

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.
