Great meeting of the Wisconsin Local Food Network at the Wisconsin Innovation Kitchen


We had a great gathering of the Wisconsin Local Food Network (WLFN) at the Wisconsin Innovation Kitchen yesterday.

It was an honor to introduce the great work Annette and her team are accomplishing at the Wisconsin Innovation Kitchen, and the support work our economic development organization, the Iowa County Area Economic Development Corp. (ICAEDC) provides for their work. This is an excellent partnership!

Our ICAEDC Board Chair Dr. Lorin Toepper of Madison College is in the photo discussing economic development implications of the kitchen's work.

What was also great fun is that we got to show off our new mobile poultry processing equipment for the first time. We now own a trailer and all the poultry processing equipment needed for area farms to rent the unit and do on-farm processing and sales of their chickens.

The entire poultry package was utilized last weekend on its inaugural processing run, and was a resounding success!

Thanks to the WLFN for a great visit to the Wisconsin Innovation Kitchen!
