This morning, we left June & Kurt's beautiful "Sweet Land" (Yes, the movie was filmed in part on their farm!), but only after a breakfast of very local bacon & pancakes. Kurt and June were amazing hosts!
We biked into town to see the cozy indoor farmer's market, housed in a log cabin with a fireplace! We also stopped in Java River, a cute coffee shop downtown featuring signs of the many well respected sustainability organizations based out of Montevideo, such as the Land Stewardship Project. Having bid Colin farewell, we continued the trek.
Today was a beautiful day of biking along the Minnesota River, through woods, valleys, and very steep hills. After coming through the Upper Sioux Reservation we biked along cow dotted pastures, corn fields, and barns.
Just found out about your adventure through 350.org. It's encouraging to hear about so many farms, colleges, and businesses working on sustainability here in Minnesota. Enjoy the warmer weather. See you at the capitol on the 24th.
