Choose Iowa farm crawl returns with nearly 60 participating farms

This year's Choose Iowa farm crawl features nearly 60 farms across Iowa opening their doors for visitors to explore local produce, meat, dairy, and other farm goods. This initiative, part of the state's "Choose Iowa" marketing program, is gaining traction as more Iowans prioritize supporting local agriculture. It's not just a shopping event but a movement encouraging community engagement and sustainable local food systems, highlighting the importance of local economies in the face of broader agricultural challenges.
