"For $32 you packed in a wagon-ride buffalo farm tour and touched on a wide variety of many subjects including but not limited to: plant/foraging education, history education, ecology and land management education, animal husbandry, recipes and discussion on commercial uses of all of the above, showed us successful examples of following and fleshing out heart dreams. We enjoyed the refreshing cordial from foraged items. We were rewarded with a big batch of Goldens to share. And we had the opportunity to purchase highly nutritious buffalo meat, giving the opportunity to support a 150 year old Iowa farm we can all be proud of. That . . . .was amazing. Thank you!"
