The Dirt
I always thought there should be a show on TV called “The Dirt”. It would be a panel of five to six farmers sitting around a table not talking over each other. Like the exact opposite of “The View” and equally not at all like “The Voice”. Just a few farmers saying very little about […]
Busy, Busy, Busy
Lots happening here on the farm! But before I get into all that here are a few brief messages. Keep pestering your friends, neighbors and relatives to buy Fresh Earth Farms CSA shares! We still have a bunch of shares left and could use a hand selling them. Keep ordering add-on shares. We don’t make […]
Spring into Action
What a strange “Spring” so far. I put Spring in quotes because I feel we went from Winter to Summer with little to no Spring in between. But before I get into that, here are a few announcements. We are still short of selling out this season. Please keep spreading the word! Last week we […]
Potato Planting is On
Despite last night’s rain we are still planning on planting potatoes from 1:00 until done. This is a great opportunity to meet with fellow members, get some fresh air and see your future food. Park by the yellow building with the solar panels. I’ll be there at 1:00. If you come later walk down the […]
Coming Out
Not a lot of time for idle chit-chat. There is a lot of beautiful planting weather out there and a lot of planting to do. Speaking of planting, our annual Potato Planting Party is scheduled for Sunday May 6 from 1:00 until done or 4:00, whichever comes first. This is a great event for kids […]
Finally
Finally. But before I get into that, let me make a few announcements. Please, please, please spread the word about our farm. We still have shares to sell. There are more than 70 farms selling “CSA shares” in the twin cities. Some of the more recent entrants to the CSA biz are large scale (100s […]
When Given Lemons…
Below is a long story of our latest marketing strategy. But before I get into it, please read the following announcements. First, we have successfully negotiated a new supplier for our SalmonShares — Matt’s Wild Salmon. Matt’s Wild Salmon is a locally owned and operated husband/wife team bringing the very best salmon to Minnesota. Matt […]
Tippy-Top Shape
I want to thank everyone who works to keep this incredible greenhouse or building or whatever you want to call it — because there really is no name for it. It is special. And we keep it in tip-top shape. We call it sometimes tippy-top shape. And it’s a great, great place. But before I […]
Of Mice and Men
It’s been a while since I last updated everyone on the activities here at the farm. But before I do, here are a couple of announcements: We are still taking orders for the 2018 season. Renewals have been fantastic so thank you all for rejoining! Recruiting new members isn’t going quite so well so please […]
