Corey Geiger, international agriculture journalist pairs his rural roots and lively storytelling talents to capture six generations of life in America’s Dairyland.  Jerry Apps, renowned Wisconsin writer and public television personality wrote in the forward of “The Wisconsin Farm They Built,” “As a lifetime rural historian, I found this Corey Geiger book fascinating, informative, entertaining, carefully researched and well written. This is a very personal book. Corey Geiger tells the story of his maternal grandparents, Elmer and Julia, from the time when they were kids to the time of their passing”

June Carstens was nurtured and raised on the family farm. Now a grandmother, she still farms and enjoys a large farm kitchen where she continues to create memories with her family. Along with childhood reminiscences, Carsten’s book “Hey Elaine! What’s for Supper” shares generational family recipes such as Mom’s Meatballs and the ever popular milk potatoes.  Many recipes are accompanied by a tiny memory about the  individual known for making the featured dish.

Geiger and Carstens will be a LaDeDa from 10:30-12:00, Saturday, August 26.
