Join area Farmer Richard Cates as he shares stories from his family farm experiences ‘growing’ memories, cattle, and a land ethic. Cates will discuss the family’s generational journey from land “owners” to caretakers of the farm and its land and water. Drawing from his farm memoir, “A Creek Runs Through This Driftless Land: A Farm Family’s Journey toward a Land Ethic”. Just in time for holiday gift giving, Cates will be signing copies of his memoir from 10 AM to 2 PM in the community room at Willy St. Co-op West (where Cates Family Farm sells beef). At 10 AM and 1 PM, he will share stories about challenges and successes of transitioning farm operations into restorative, regenerative, and perennialized agriculture and developing a more harmonious relationship to the land and all that lives there, past and present.
