"Forever Green" & "What's Organic?"
Now until October 9
When we think “healthy food,” we often think about our own health or the health of our families. But a truly healthy food system also considers how our food is grown – including the impacts on the environment.
This exhibit focuses on the farm side of farm-to-fork – and explores exciting new crops that can provide farmers with new income opportunities while providing a series of environmental benefits, such as:
- Cleaner groundwater, lakes, and rivers;
- Improved habitat for pollinators; and
- Healthier soils.
The vision showcased is part of the Forever Green Initiative, led by the University of Minnesota, in partnership with farmers and advocates. It is an initiative that is developing an agriculture that benefits farmers, the environment, and our communities.
Classes, Events & Exhibits
Farm Table Foundation seeks to engage our community in a wide-ranging discussion about how best to prepare and utilize locally produced foods. To that end we have a suite of cooking and preserving classes that focus on traditional approaches to getting the most out of food. These classes, workshops and events allow community members and visitors alike to expand their understanding of seasonality, farming issues and preservation techniques -- everything from pickling, to proper seed care, to wild herb identification, to seasonal food pairings. Farming and food preparation/preservation are at the very core of what makes human cultures unique. Farm Table Foundation is thrilled to be part of this ancient adventure that frequently takes on new dimensions as it comes in contact with alert and creative participants. We hope to see you soon in Amery so you can be a part of making local food both timeless and contemporary.

Farm Table Foundation is building a place-based food system in western Wisconsin, one that holds these values dear: how we farm matters, connecting with local producers creates joy and meaning, eating fresh food brings nutrition and health, learning keeps us engaged, and all of this fosters community, ecology and a resilient local economy.
We can turn the imperative of food into an exploration of place, a journey to the heart of each season, a discovery of self — creating passion for what the land and community offers.
Help grow this place and these values. Donate your time or money and make our efforts stronger. We need your support and enthusiasm.
