Join IOA and Matt and Hillary of Kollasch Family Farms for a free field day covering their multi-generational organic farm, the direct market meat business, and how the livestock benefit their organic row crops at their farm in Whittemore, IA.

The field day will include a tour of both their livestock and organic row crop operations. We will learn about how they have integrated their direct market meat business into the existing organic row crop operation, how they utilize their livestock to benefit and add value to their organic crops, the importance of a diverse number of income streams, and their plans for the continuing to build their soils and overall farm health.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about an exciting Iowa farm that is doing a great job stewarding their land and serving their community!
