If I'm not mistaken, the days
are getting longer! I think I
even saw the sun for a few
days this week.
What do farmers do in the
"off-season"?
Well, let me tell you a few
things we're been working on.

First, our seedling production is going strong. We've been planting our seeds since
January and have lots of beautiful onion, leek, chives, rosemary, mint, oregano,
thyme, broccoli, turnip, chard, beet, and even a few tomato plants. Whew!
In addition, we just returned from a fantastic organic farming conference in LaCrosse,
Wisconsin. With over 2,000 people in attendance, this conference is the motherlode of
all things organic. We learned about extending our growing season, expanding our
CSA program, soil biology, and tractor repair. It's also a great time to meet some old
friends and make some new ones. Farmers are a pretty fun bunch to be around and
we're glad to attend this event.
We're still taking registration for our CSA program, but we're filling up quickly as
Spring approaches. You can find all sorts of information on the CSA page of our
website. For those of you looking to find our produce at farmer's markets, we plan
on being at the Logan Square farmer's market on Sundays starting in June. We'll look
forward to seeing you there.
Thank you so much for supporting locally grown and sustainable farming in the
Midwest. We are working hard to create a lasting farm of which you can be proud to
be a member. If you like what we do, please click here to tell a friend about our farm.
Thanks for your support and eat well!
