Burning Bright Winter Solstice Concert 2025
- The Farmers Land Investment Cooperative (FLIC) holds a vision for
a community that invests in farmland so that it produces good food,
builds ecological diversity and resilience, and welcomes new farmers
into stable livelihoods. This new cooperative is accepting member-
investors and raising money for its first farmland purchase! - The Decorah Food Pantry’s “Local Food Fund”.
The Pantry uses the money to buy food directly from local farmers for
our clients and to give them coupons to use at the Farmer’s Market.
So it’s a great thing to support if you care about addressing hunger,
helping neighbors, supporting local agriculture, and strengthening the
local economy! - Neighbors Helping Neighbors in Decorah. The UCC (United Church
of Christ) in Decorah administers this program which distributes
starter food packages to new immigrants in the area. With bulk
packages of rice, beans, and MaSeCa (a tortilla mix), a family has
enough to get started as they learn to navigate the grocery and food
sources available to them. After these initial gifts of food, most
families are on their way to becoming more self- sufficient, having
found housing, jobs, and other basic needs
