“Dreaming of a Vetter World”<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

This award-winning documentary shares the story of the Vetter family, pioneers of organic farming on the 280-acre Grain Place Farm. Dreaming of a Vetter World<\/em> is the result of the determination, vision, and hard work of filmmaker Bonnie Hawthorne. A crew of one, she performed all tasks apart from music, graphics, and final audio mix. It was truly a labor of love.<\/p>\n

In February 2025, Bonnie donated the film to the Grain Place Foundation to keep the Vetter\u2019s story alive for future generations. We are pleased to welcome Bonnie as a special guest for this year’s Field Day.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Executive Chef<\/h4>\n
\n

As the Executive Chef at The Leadership Center in Aurora, Nebraska, I\u2019ve turned a lifelong love of food into a mission of connection and hospitality. My passion started in the kitchen with my family and has grown through years of hands-on experience, learning alongside talented professionals and always staying curious.<\/p>\n

At The Leadership Center, I lead a dedicated culinary team that prepares meals for groups ranging from 10 to over 500 guests. We cater across the state and serve communities through our food truck, bringing quality meals to people from all walks of life.<\/p>\n

Teaching is one of the most fulfilling parts of my role. I work with students in the kitchen on everything from candy and chocolate making to smoking meats and baking thousands of Christmas cookies. I\u2019ve led hands-on classes in cake decorating, candy-making, and even sushi rolling. We\u2019re committed to ensuring every guest is well-fed, including those with special dietary needs\u2014because everyone deserves a meal that tastes great and meets their needs.<\/p>\n

I believe a good meal can do more than satisfy hunger\u2014it can build community, spark conversation, and create lasting memories. “Creating Moments that Matter”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
