More than 40 farms and agriculture-related organizations threw their doors open Sept. 17 to show the general public just what happens down on the farm.
Among the volunteer hosts were John and Ann Hunter, who farm near Rapid City. They had well over 200 visitors to their farm in just a few hours.
One of the participating organizations was the Manitoba Beef and Forage Initiatives farm near Brookdale.
Photographer Sandy Black visited both for the Co-operator and shared these images with us.
