Lordy I Hope There Are Scapes
One week from today the season begins! (That would be June 20th for the calendarly challenged). Please check your email for pick-up instructions (except as noted below). Before we can start the season we have a few quick announcements. Please get any final orders for Fruit, Cheese, Ice Cream and Eggs to us by noon […]
Farm Update
With all this beautiful weather outside I don’t have time to write much but felt it was important to get a few things out to you. First, I’m fairly confident we will start the week of June 19th. Some things like bok choi and radishes are looking like they will be ready by next week. […]
AmphibianShare
A few announcements and then on with the “real” news! Minneapolis Drop Site: Due to host relocation our Minneapolis drop site is looking for a new home. If anyone is interested in being our Minneapolis drop site or know of somewhere that would work well as a drop site please let me know. The requirements […]
Dumpster Snorkling
As I’ve mentioned before, in farming some days you get to work outside and some days you have to work outside. Well this week we aren’t doing either. I don’t think I have to tell you that it is just too wet. But before I tell you what we are doing here are a couple […]

There is a small window of dry weather today through late Saturday/early Sunday before another round of wet weather moves in. We’d […]
The First Sixty-Six Days
As has been customary since the Roosevelt administration, we farmers like to reflect back on the first 66 days of the current season to assess our success and use the information to forecast how the season will turn out.

Weather Delays
Who ever thought airline travel and farming had so much in common? But first, some of the usual and unusual announcements. Potato Planting Party! Anyone interested in doing some farmin’? We are planning on planting the potatoes on Saturday April 29th from 1:00 until done. This is a great way to see the farm, learn […]
Re-Accommodated
Due to our greenhouse being overbooked we had to re-accommodate some of our transplants to our unheated cold frame. But before we go into the details, lets have a few announcements! We are still taking orders for 2017 VeggieShares. Keep spreading the word! Referrals are always the best form of advertising and many of you […]
