Farm Loop Tour: Connecting with your Local Farming Community
Subscribe to our new Food Farmer Earth channel on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/foodfarmerearth?sub_confirmation=1 Visit cookingupastory.com for more stories and videos. The Molalla Country Farm Loop tour, patterned after the nearby Sandy Area Farm Loop, covers roughly a 35 mile area within Oregon's Clackamas County, with the town of Molalla somewhat situated within the tour's geographic center. As we see in the video, the main purpose is education, to witness the important role that farming plays in modern society, and to connect folks to where their food and fiber are grown and raised.

@rezodesobediente I think it would work pretty much anywhere - especially near any sizeable city. Not only do people get to see where their food is being grown, and the farmer gets to meet some of the folks s/he is selling to, the surrounding businesses have an opportunity to benefit too. All in all, it helps support the local (food) economy.

Interesting video. I wonder if in Mexico it is feasible. It would be nice to allow consumers to buy directly from farmers so that productos would not be too much more expensive through intermediaries. Great video.

@whitetiger333 Elk is less "gamey" than white tail so a little more mellow at least when it's wild. I've never had farmed elk, but my guess is it would be even more mellow. It's somewhere between beef and white tail.

I don't want to have to sit through religious proselytizing ads before your videos.

@WhiteTiger333 I've never eaten it myself, but she did show us some she had stored in the freezer. The color you described sounds about right to me - but someone else who has actually eaten it might have a different take on it, and hopefully they will chime in! Good to hear these are in your area too!! I really enjoyed this one and hope to return - there are many more farms to visit than just the few we stopped at.

I've never had elk. I guess it would taste somewhat like my local Catskill whitetail deer, but who knows? Is elk the same rich, dark, almost purple color of whitetail venison? We have similar farm tours in my locale. They are popular and that's a very, very good thing!
