The steering Committee of the Dubuque Winter Farmers’ Market, in cooperation with Four Mounds Foundation, are pleased to announce the following two recipients of this year’s Traci C. LoBianco Award:

Nick & Emily Puls from East Mill Bakeshop & Catering will use their grant to purchase a new mixer (which can cost in excess of $1700!) that will allow them to be more efficient and expand their wholesale business.

Michael Breitbach from Hideaway Gardens/The Food Store will use his grant to pay for a 500-gallon tank and drip watering system in his high tunnel that will allow him to extend his growing season into December and get a head start on spring crops in April.
