Another season of showcasing
people and agriculture at
state and county fairs has
come to an end. PIPESTONE
works hard to create Discovery
Barn opportunities that allow
us to share our passion with
consumers.
By developing a personal
experience, we open the door
for quality conversations about
where food comes from and the
farmers who are committed to
animal care, sustainability, and a
safe, quality product.
A big shout out to the
numerous PIPESTONE staff,
interns, allied industry, and farmer
volunteers who helped in all of
the locations!
