Spotted on the farm: baby coyotes! Adorable. Intelligent. And one day, very helpful.

These little ones are just doing what we all do — trying to feed their family. The people who tend this land, the crops we grow for the community, and the wildlife that calls it home. We're all part of the same chain.

We share this earth with a lot more than we may realize. 🐾

🌱 Commencement Season, Farm Edition.

In this 2025-2026 school year, students came to the farm — from pre-K to college. Some were learning English while transplanting seedlings. Some were third graders seeding regenerative pastures. Some were students who don't always find their place in a traditional classroom — but found something different here, in the fields, holding a young chick.

"The quiet confidence of someone who knows they contributed to something real."

To every student, intern, and young farmer who grew something — your food, your work, and your heart are woven into this farm. We are proud of you. 🎓

Read the full story at the link below.

A truly sustainable food system isn't just about agricultural practices — it's about people, knowledge, and community involvement. Every week, students arrive at the farm. This school year, we've hosted thousands of pre-K, elementary, middle school, high school, and college students through field ...

Fresh asparagus season is here. This quick spring stir-fry is a delicious way to enjoy it. Pair fresh, locally grown seasonal produce with a few flavorful staples from the Farm Store, like local honey, veggies and ginger, for an easy weeknight dinner that's full of bright spring flavor and supports our regional farmers and food system!

"Spring Arrival" Asparagus & Bok Choy Stir-Fry

A quick, vibrant spring dinner that brings together crisp asparagus, tender baby bok choy, and a lightly sweet soy-ginger glaze.

Ingredients

1 bunch asparagus, woody ends removed and cut into 2-inch pieces (Available Now at Liberty Prairie Farm Store!)
4 - 6 baby bok choy, sliced lengthwise (Available Now at Liberty Prairie Farm Store!)
1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced OR 1 block firm tofu, cubed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (Frozen available Now at Liberty Prairie Farm Store!)
1 tablespoon local honey or maple syrup (Available Now at Liberty Prairie Farm Store!)
1 tablespoon cooking oil
cooked rice (optional)
Instructions

Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add oil and sauté the flank steak or tofu until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
Add asparagus and baby bok choy to the hot pan. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes, just until bright green and crisp-tender.
In a small bowl whisk together soy sauce, ginger, and honey (or maple syrup).
Return the protein to the pan and pour in the sauce.
Toss everything together for about 30 seconds, just until glazed and heated through.
Serve over rice or on its own for a fresh, flavorful, local spring meal!

Note: We had a small typo in the newsletter regarding tofu at the store. While we don't currently offer tofu, we do offer many veggies to add to this dish! :)
