What a neat model!

Fond du Lac area friends...we are working with another farmer to start a Fond du Lac County REKO Ring. If you haven't heard of REKO, it roughly translates into "fair consumption". It is a model that started in Finland as an alternative to a farmers' market. Farmers and producers post what they have available in the Facebook group, customers order, and then you meet to pick up. Pickup will happen Thursdays from 5:30-6 pm in the Fond du Lac Fleet Farm parking lot starting Jan. 29th. Feel free to join the group to see what it's all about!
