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 […]

It has been awhile since the last newsletter. Seems like time is going faster the older I get. First a couple of announcements: We have pricing in our online farm stand for most of the products we sell. One item in particular I need to mention is SeafoodShare. It has an early deadline — February […]
Neutrality
The following statements may be attributed to Christopher James, Chief Farming Officer of Fresh Earth Farms, CSA: “For more than a decade, under both Republican and Democratic Administrations, Fresh Earth Farms has consistently made clear that we provide CSA delivery services in an open and transparent way. We do not block eggplants, nor censor herbal […]
Last Chance to Plant Garlic
With all the weather we’ve had so far this fall we haven’t planted all the garlic yet. So we plan to finish the project on Sunday, November 12th from 12:00 until 4:00 or done. Please come out and lend a hand! We could use all the help we can get before we run out of […]
It’s the End of the Season as We Know It
First of all I want to thank everyone for their support of the farm this past season. Without your support our business would not succeed. Our farm survives on the personal connections we strive to have with each of our members. It is more difficult to have this connection with our delivery customers but we […]
