| The graphic designs on these UUFA food
and agriculture pages were created by Lonna Nachtigal and
used with her permission.
She is a graphic designer, musician, and farmer. She lives and raises food
with her partner, Joe Lynch, on their Onion Creek Farm northwest
of Ames. |
 |
In the springtime, Lonna starts plants in her greenhouse and
sells them via Wheatsfield
Cooperative in Ames. She will also start plants by custom arrangement
for individual customers. During the growing season, she sells awesome
tomatoes, garlic, herbs, eggs and other produce from a porch on Hodge Street
on Saturdays. |
| She plays the dulcimer (Joe plays the squeeze
box) and other musical instruments and calls contra dances.
Often she can be found leading dances at the
Central Iowa Barn Dances that are held one Saturday per month during the
academic year at the Wesley Annex in Ames.
Lonna also has her studio at Onion Creek Farm and produces LonnaCards, which are notecards produced on
heavy paper that is folded once for
a finished width of 4 1/4 inches and length of 5 1/2 inches high. The
interior is blank for you to write your own message. If interested in purchasing some cards or finding
