Brazos Locavores - August Field Trip Announcement

Another treat for all you Brazos Valley Farmers’ Market customers. In August, we’ll be visiting Dog Run Farms, one of our two biggest veggie vendors at the farmers’ market.

David Elsik, owner of Dog Run Farms has been farming for as long as he can remember, but he’s been farming this current location for 5 years using organic practices on almost all of his produce. Along with his 2 girls, 7 cats, 3 dogs, and a horse, the family offers a beautiful array of fresh seasonal vegetables year-round, some of which will be available for purchase after the tour.

Here’s the scoop:

What: Brazos Locavore Field Trip to Dog Run Farm

When: Sunday, August 16 (9:15 AM -12:00 PM)

Where: Meet up at Brazos Natural Foods and carpool out to the farm

RSVP: to Heather at brazoslocavores@gmail.com by Saturday, August 15 (this is so that I can prepare the farm for the number of visitors and provide enough maps for drivers).
