Gen-O Bus Tour 2012

Meet farmers and discuss how we can cooperatively work together to create a sustainble food system over grilled cheese and milk. Look for the bus in the store parking lot!


Generation Organic is a group of Organic Valley farmers aged 18 to 35 who represent the next generation of sustainable agriculture leaders and who believe in the power of organic to change the world. Every fall since 2010, a group of “Gen-O” farmers have hit the road in their veggie-oil powered bus for the annual "Who's Your Farmer?" tour.


The third annual Generation Organic tour sets off September 25 from Organic Valley HQ in La Farge, WI for three weeks on the road through Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota. Gen-Os will be stopping at college campuses, grocery stores and food co-ops, farmers markets, organic farms and many places along the way, talking to people about how the food choices they make every day affect their health and that of the planet.
