The DeWitt County "Where Does My Lunch Come From?" 4-H SPIN Club gave 4-H members a chance to check out local agricultural sites to see where their food comes from and how it is raised or grown.

Each day, the youth prepared a lunch which related to those agricultural businesses they toured.

"In addition to knowing where their food came from, we wanted youth to see ALL the possibilities in creating a business through a passion they might have," said Sherry Fulton, U of I Extension 4-H youth development educator.

Seven local farms participated, including PrairiErth Farm, Timbercrest Vet Clinic, Martin Cattle Farms, Dement Dairy, Homestead Harvests, Triple M Farm, and Wagon Wheel Pumpkin Patch.
