We are so excited to be a part of this event! If you have ever wanted to see what we do up close....sign up!
We’re excited to share that the Sauk Valley Area Chamber of Commerce is partnering with U of I Extension Carroll-Lee-Whiteside Unit and Whiteside Area Career Center for the second year of Sauk Valley Grown on September 10!
Sauk Valley Grown is more than farm tours; it’s an opportunity to get out into our community, learn directly from local producers, and better understand the agriculture and food systems that play such an important role in our region.
Join us on Thursday, September 10 for a day of exploring local farms and businesses, asking questions, gaining a behind-the-scenes look at agriculture in the Sauk Valley, and building a greater appreciation for where our food comes from and the people who produce it. We will conclude the day with locally sourced dinner prepared by Whiteside Area Career Center's Culinary Arts Program.
Tours run 9 a.m.–5 p.m., with limited spots available. Details on location and timing can be found at https://bit.ly/4c70Ci5. Pick and choose the tours that work with your schedule, and then join us for dinner at 5 p.m. at WACC. Registration is required by September 3. Reserve your seat at https://bit.ly/4c70Ci5
Come curious. Leave with a whole new appreciation for agriculture in the Sauk Valley!
