The Susannah French Putney Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution held their monthly meeting on March 15, at the United Method-ist Church in Eureka. The Women of Faith served the members a delicious lunch.
The program, “From Pasture to Plate” was presented by Sara Shivers of Salt Creek Farms in Eureka which is a third-generation family farm in the Flint Hills of Kansas. Shivers, along with help from family members, manages the family ranch that markets high-quality beef, lamb, chicken and honey. Much of her presentation provided information about what a local food system is, why it is important and all the ways it positively impacts a local community.
Salt Creek Farms currently sells beef and other products to numerous high-end restaurants in the Kansas City area, as well as several in Wichita and Emporia. They ship nationally and internationally. They have a storefront, located at 118 N. Main Street, in Eureka and have a website, www.
