More equipment off to a great home! Tyler and his brother worked here some years ago - now he is gearing up for growing produce at his own farm. Pretty exciting! Here's to the next generation!!

Exciting news to share, friends:

The transition of microgreen production to Suri Fina Alpaca Farm in Washburn is almost complete!

We loaded them up with another round of microgreen trays, lights, racks, and even our big greenhouse heater today so they can expand transplant and field crop production too.

They are already cranking out flats and flats of great micros, and are even dialing in some new varieties.

We're wishing Abby and the Suri Fina crew a great growing season ahead!

Wow! What a storm! We've plowed out three times in the last 2 days! ❄️

Somewhere buried under all that snow is a hoophouse. It was totally cleared off yesterday!

Parsnips! All out of the ground and washed up before the temps really drop again. They sure do shine up nicely!

This fall, we have been saving up the squash with cosmetic damage/ little dings/spots, and managed to get somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 # worth saved up for donation to The BRICK Ministries !

While temps were still above freezing, we loaded up the truck and dropped it off on Wednesday. A pallet jack and their new lift gate sure made things easy!

We're grateful that they can get all of this squash that would otherwise go to waste out into our community! ❤️

As luck would have it, November 17th is trivia night at the South Shore Brewery Taphouse, so grab your boxes and stick around for a fun evening in Washburn. It's also turkey pickup day at the Chequamegon Food Co-op, so if you're picking up in Ashland, you can get your turkey AND your veggies too!

The last pallet bins of storage root crops - radishes beets, and carrots - are out of the field, washed, and tucked away in the root cellar for winter. It's hard to describe how good that feels!

The carrots in particular took a big hit this season thanks to the droughty conditions all summer. Usually, we head into winter with 10,000 #+ of carrots. This season, we harvested only about a thousand pounds. They are smaller in size as well, but still sweet and crunchy.

That's farming sometimes: do your best, buckle up, and hang on for the ride.

We sure have appreciated this beautiful fall harvest weather. It's nice to be warm enough to feel your fingers at the end of the day! But now that the crops are in...

Our fingers were so cold today, we decided to cut out of work early and head to the beach. And we have the whole place to ourselves, too, what a treat! Time to work on our farmer tans.
