Field Notes: Part Three – Crider Farms
After a quick stint on the interstate, I take Exit 159 toward Gibson City and drive among the corn and soybeans for a bit. Before too long, just off Route 54, I find one branch of Crider Farms, the sheep operation. This branch of the farm is run by Chris Crider, his wife Erin, and their two boys.
Sunny Summer Salad
This delicious salad is a great way to incorporate several fresh market vegetables. This salad is also very customizable! Try offering different dressings or ingredients like cooked pasta, sweet peppers, or feta cheese so kids can customize their own Sunny Summer Salads.
