Farm camp to expand in Wells River

WELLS RIVER-An innovative education program based at a Wells River dairy farm will expand this summer after a Wisconsin-based organic farming cooperative awarded a grant of $4,000. The White River Natural Resources Conservation District recently received grant support to expand its Boltonville Land-Use Explorers Conservation Education Program in the Wells River Watershed.

Both the regional arm in Randolph and headquarters of Organic Valley in La Farge, WI have awarded resources to White River NRCD in support of the Boltonville place-based education program, or BLUE, which is located on and around Al-lens Farm, an organic dairy farm along the Wells River operated by Alice and Larry Allen.
