Changes in the last two months

Poor Wendel got shaved.

Moe found a frog while weeding.

After the very successful farm festival, activity has returned to normal on the farm. The recent drought has prompted us to lay soaker hoses on the tomato and pepper plants. On a brighter note, harvesting has been going very well. According to the books we have harvested almost a third more produce than last year. The best part about this new is that we haven't even started on the tomatoes, which we have about 250+ more plants of this year, and we have peppers where as last year the pepper crop was wiped out by the hail storm. Knock on wood.

2007 STOGROW Farm Festival!

Whew! Not much time to write a full blog; things at the farm have been going full speed these past few days. Our harvests have been bountiful, our crops healthy, and our livestock lively! And now the day that we've all looked forward to is almost upon us, that day when we can share with our community the fruits of our labor--both the produce itself and the rich spirit of sustainable, organic farming! Tomorrow our farm will host a variety of activities from 11am-5pm, including refreshments provided by Bon Appetit featuring STOGROW produce, self-guided farm tours, children’s activities, beekeeping demonstrations, and live music. Come see what makes our garden grow! For more information, visit the St. Olaf website and click on the calendar icon.
