There will be no more Gilles Family Farm Tours.
Sorry to disappoint you.
We would like to thank everyone who participated in the past and hope you enjoyed this tour.
They began the tour with a short presentation in the garage at the original farmstead where they pass around freshly picked examples of the hundreds of grasses and forbs which grow in their plantings. They discuss how these were used by Native Americans and early settlers. After the introductions the tour continued on hay-racks that have been upgraded with bus seats and railings which make for a comfortable ride around the farm.
2016 Tours were very successful!!!
See below for photos from 2016
Ted Gilles talks about plants we are going to see on the tour.
Ted Gilles, Ron Gilles, and Ginny Gilles give us a history of the farm and plants around the farm.
