From the Farm
While it has been cooold (minus 13 on Friday morning), we've been spending a lot of time planning for this year's growing season and making fermented vegetables. However, it has been really convenient that the icy, cold spells have fallen on weeks we don't have distribution. It has warmed up nicely for each distribution week. What a gift!

The cows have moved from the slough up to the farm and now the heifers are enjoying the cattails. The calves are all together in a fenced-in area around a haystack and are all enjoying their carrots and beets.
