“We’re excited to share all the work being done by our faculty, staff and students,” said Brad Jaeckel, farm manager. “This tour will focus on the production techniques used at the farm. The farm sells directly to the Moscow Food Co‑op twice each week and we’re excited to show our Co‑op customers how the food is grown.”
