Last night we were able to partner with Josh at Season's Harvest Greenhouse for a spring planter workshop. Attendees toured the greenhouses to learn about the different regulations, equipment, and other important aspects of their business. Following the tour, everyone was able to design and plant their own container to take home with them. Thank you so much, Josh, for sharing your knowledge and being so kind to let us hang out with you for a few hours!

What a great example of a community coming together.

With an agriculture-themed playground and splash pad in the works, this project reflects the heart of our area. Initiatives like this don’t just create fun spaces for families, they strengthen communities.

Dunn County Farm Bureau is proud to support the Colfax Playground & Splash Pad Project.

Agriculture communty, this is a wonderful opportunity to get involved.

MAKE A SPLASH IN COLFAX: Splash pads are popular additions to public parks throughout the Chippewa Valley – including at Chippewa Falls' Irvine Park, though Dunn County has yet to welcome its own. A group of local organizers is hoping to change that.
