The Center for Prairie Studies at Grinnell College has prepared this brochure to help those wishing to visit prairie sites near Grinnell. The prairie blooms from May to October. Different species flower at different times, so repeat visits during a growing season will be rewarded with an ever-changing palette of colors. No two prairies will have the same mix of species.
The project focused on seven topics around bringing local food into the dining halls: environmental impact, nutrition, dining service logistics, producer logistics, economic impact, student opinion, and local foods at public schools.
