Farming Trifecta!
Not a lot of time for a newsletter so lets make this succinct. We need more employees, fewer deer, and less rain. If anyone is interested in getting out of the house for a couple of hour per week let me know. We could certainly use the help! After this week we will be down […]
What’s For Dinner?
I can’t seem to think of much to say this week so here are a bunch of recipes. But first a couple of announcements. We are looking for help for the rest of the season. Part time. Full time. We can be flexible. If you want to only help wash produce and not work out […]
It’s All Good
It seems like every week I talk about all the bad things happening here on the farm. Things breaking. Weather not cooperating. Pests being pesky. Someone made an off-the-cuff remark that it always sounded so glum but they were still happy with all the great stuff they were getting. So to change things up this […]
Transitioning
Last week I asked everyone to leave their car windows open, plan outdoor activities, etc. to try to get us some rain. It worked quite well. Thank you! Now we’re good. So close up the windows and go back to your usual indoor activities. One quick announcement then on to farm news. We are looking […]
A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall?

Please save the rubber bands until you have enough quantity to make it worthwhile. Farm […]
Farm Update
Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of time to fill you in on what’s happening on the farm but suffice it to say that for the most part things are progressing as usual, which is to say completely different than any other season. We’ve got some new bugs that are eating our basil; never had […]
Two Broke Tools
This past was a trying week here on the farm. As I mentioned in my previous post our computer crapped out Monday night. Being a busy farmer I didn’t do the types of things that we all should do — brush your teeth twice a day, drink plenty of water and backup your hard drive. […]
Computer Data Recovery Expertise Needed
Our computer crapped out this past Monday so we are looking for an expert to help recover the data. We brought it to Data Drs. to see if they could fix it. They said they couldn’t here in MN but could send it out for an exorbitant fee with no guarantee of success and a […]
July 4th Schedule and a Very Important Message
First, my computer crashed with all the important data including email lists. So for now all outbound communication will be sent via the newsletter. I’m not sure how long it will take to resolve or if we can get back to where we were, so please bear with me until the problem is resolved. Second, […]
