Great plains growers conference & trade show
January 8-10, 2015
Tom Thornton started the farm in 1978 and with his wife Cheryl, has built the farm into a thriving center for diversified and sustainable farming practices. For over 30 years Tom conducted crop development trials and shared that information and experience with the regional farming community. In 2011 Tom and Cheryl turned their business into a nonprofit educational farm center with the goal of providing hands-on learning opportunities to the next generation of farmers as well as providing regional information to the gardening community.
