Forgotten Fruits of the Great Lakes Region: Field Trip to Kline Creek Farm
Learn more about heritage fruits of our region. Join the Renewing America's Food Traditions (RAFT) Alliance on a field trip and tour of a historic farm museum preserved from the 1890's. Kline Creek Farm has a small heritage orchard with several varieties from the original farm. In addition, the farm has an heirloom vegetable garden and a range of programs teaching 19th century activities like baking, canning, planting, harvesting, sheep shearing and ice cutting.
During the tour you will enjoy the company of ethnobotanist Gary Paul Nabhan and local orchard historian Dan Bussey as they discuss the history of forgotten fruits of the Great Lakes region.
