From Pivots to Potatoes Tour
Hot, crisp, salty fries are a favorite restaurant staple. Join us to learn how Jamestown, with its rich, nutrient-packed soil, produces potatoes ideal for the perfect French fry (with the help of irrigation and good farming practices). Cavendish Farms and VanRay Farms will share why Jamestown is the “Pride of the Prairie.” Participants will also hear presentations at the Jamestown Reservoir, which boasts seven boat launches, seven picnic shelters, two swimming beaches, and 2,492 acres of water surface area. This tour will begin and end in Jamestown.
The public is invited to attend the tour, which costs $30 per person, and includes transportation, informational materials, meals, refreshments and a one-year subscription to the North Dakota Water magazine.
Registration is required for this tour. For questions or to register, contact Julie Ellingson or call 701-223-8332.
