Take a Kid Fishing 🎣 June 5-7th, 2026

🚨 Tick season is here 🚨

This summer, when spending time outdoors, remember to conduct tick checks. Ticks are most active in areas with dense vegetation, such as grassy, brushy, and wooded areas, and can be as small as a poppy seed. Perform thorough body checks on children and pets, using tweezers to grasp the tick close to the skin. Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Monitor the bite area for signs of illness, such as flu-like symptoms, fever, or a circular "bullseye" rash, and consult a medical professional if any of these develop.

One of Lydia's passions is fishing 🎣 and spending time at the family camper in Ottertail county. At the age of 11, she is already reeling in crappies like a seasoned professional. Nice work Lydia!

Dandelions offer a multitude of uses, given that almost every part is edible and packed with nutrients. The yellow petals can be utilized for syrups, jellies, or fritters; the young spring leaves for fresh salads or sautés; and the deep taproots for homemade herbal tea. This plant also provides a creative outlet for crafting and making dandelion crowns, presenting a fun and engaging activity for children 👑

🐂We had a great morning for our Family Farm Tour event with a group of 30 adults/youth in attendance. Pleasurewoods Farm, Farm Bureau, and Kanabec County 4H youth did an excellent job of providing our group with a behind-the-scenes look at raising livestock. We were able to view cattle, sheep, chickens, pigs, and goats. Youth participated in an interactive game where they learned about various animal by-products.

🚜Lastly, our wagon ride led us back to a barn complete with a rope swing and slide in the loft. Each youth received a beef stick made from livestock raised on this farm as a parting gift.

🐖We plan to continue offering fun and educational agricultural-based tours…will we see your family at one?
