Event Calendar

We're excited to announce a Field Day experience to be held at SkyView Beef in Nora Springs, IA. Aaron and Laura Cunningham are excited to share their practice of raising and selling prime Angus beef. The couple raise all the feedstuffs for their herd of cow calf pairs and beef animals which includes cover crop rye made into ryelage, alfalfa, corn silage and grain corn. They also employ some innovative calving practices, have a cooperative agreement with NIACC so that college students have the opportunity to learn first-hand about beef production, and are involved in several regional agricultural projects. For example, Laura notes that they will be supplying the aggregation space for a new protein-based food hub at SkyView. The new venture will allow easier access to local beef, pork, chicken and eggs for consumers, and provide a one-stop site for producers to collaborativelymarket their products.The Cunninghams sell their beef directly from their farm as well as online. Consumers may purchase halves or quarters, but also smaller bundles and packages of beef. The Gate to Plate event will take place in the calving structure on the north edge of the farm. Visitors will have the chance to see the cattle at pasture, learn about the conservation and sustainability practices used at SkyView, participate in a children’s activity, and enjoy an afternoon snack. For more information, contact the Field Day host (Laura) at 641-425-4473, or Mary at connection@healthyharvestni.com.

The North Iowa Local Food Connection Program announces a Field Day and Brewery Tour at Limestone Brewers in Osage on Saturday, July 30. The event will take place from 2 – 4 p.m. at 518 Main St, Osage. Owners Tony Wynohrad and Josh Olson are eager to demonstrate the brewing process, and their love of the local community. Limestone Taproom Manager Lisamarie Odeen explains, “The reason we’re called Limestone Brewers instead of Limestone Brewery is because it’s all about the people! It’s about bringing people together, providing space for the benefit of the community, and supporting our neighbors.” Besides the taproom where core and seasonal beers are served, Limestone also offers hand-made pizza, a large group event area, which includes axe-throwing lanes and often provides live entertainment such as music, trivia, and comedy shows. The Field Day will consist of a start-to-finish tour about beer brewing, introductions to creative and artistic beer, and a chance to taste some of the product. For more information, contact Lisamarie Odeen at 641-832-3100 or lisamarie@limestonebrewers.com.
