This year we received a grant from to give our greenhouse an upgrade in two ways: one, new improvements to the structure itself (more on that later) and two, in the way that we seed some crops. We invested in a new Paperpot system. Paperpots are an accordion style chain of paper cells that you seed into, then after 2-4 weeks, you plant in the ground. This specialized transplanter then allows us to drag the chain out, leaving a long line of plants. We started 600 FEET of snap peas in these trays, then transplanted them in the field two weeks ago. They're already 6 inches tall. The beauty of this planting method is that you get better germination and once planted, get more established plants in the ground *before* the weeds have started growing. So far we've planted scallions and peas and have lettuce, beets and herbs on the docket to go in next. Can't wait to see how it goes!

Also shout out to:
*Small Works Farm, in WI for the paperpot chains and trays
* for the seeder that is an original transplanter.
*And also thanks to for all the online tutorials!

When I started this farm 16 years ago, I knew I wanted community to be part of my business model, not just in my farm name. At that time it was just me and I needed help. So, I gave people a discount if they came and worked on the farm. The benefits were immeasrable: yes, I would get extra sets of hands, but they would get to know their farmer, and I them. They got to see how their food grows and see a different lifestyle. I wonder how many volunteer hours have been logged on our farm? I don't think you could even tally it all up. We still offer this opportunity for members, and today was our first work day. John, Kristina and I were joined by three hard workers and we got in over 750 plants in the ground!
I'm laying on the floor in the house now, sore and tired, but so grateful for our dedication to building community and the help we're given.

Need a unique gift idea for Mom, a friend, or even yourself? We have a new batch of pottery fresh out of the kiln featuring pendants, vases and bowls. Silver and brass earrings. Fresh daffodils and dried flower arrangements. Linocut block prints. AND we have a few spots left for our summer flower shares (link in bio). We'll have all this and more at the Duluth Farmers Market tomorrow, Saturday, May 9, 8-noon.

And don't forget to stop by and pick up eggs, bread, microgreens and plants from the other vendors. Buying local is the best way to shop!

We put the first round of plants out on tables to harden off. A little risky with some cold nights ahead but we gotta get these babies in the ground on Monday. Hooped row cover should help keep them all cozy.
