You are invited to Rancho El Pitayo from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at 21909 Grange Road, Marengo. This family-friendly event is bilingual. Owner Antonio Delgado and his wife Mary Witt, along with other family members, will be conducting a tour of their farm. Antonio will share his experiences as a Latino farm owner in McHenry County.
The couple, who also own and operate Isabel’s Family Restaurant in Woodstock, purchased the 20-acre farm in 1994. The majority of the land is planted with hay, while five acres are dedicated to a variety of vegetables, many of which are utilized at their restaurant. The crops include tomatoes, potatoes, zucchinis, ten varieties of peppers, onions, garlic, Mexican corn, broom corn, guava, figs, and various herbs such as Mexican papolo and epazote.
No registration is required, and parking is available on-site. The event will include food and refreshments, including handmade tortillas. For more information, please email info@raiceslatinasmc.org.
