We’re in LaCrosse, Wisconsin this week for the Midwest Organic Farming Conference, put on every year by the good people at MOSES.
An overview of the exhibit hall, and some of our spoils from the famous bookshop.
Produce For Sale
Our current crop of black beans, heirloom corn, and hard red winter wheat is currently available.

One of the best things about walking around the fields in the snow is being reminded of how alive they are even and especially when I’m not paying attention. #organicfarming #critters #animaltracks #biodiversity #agroecologyThought I might get the combine out this morning while the ground is still frozen, but there is a bit too much snow left on the ground. #waitinggame #harvest19 #organicsoybeans #blueriverhybrids #organicfarming #winterfarmingView from inside the dryer. Our sunflower crop was an experiment, and we learned a lot from it, including that it will be worthwhile to get the right screens for sunflower seeds for our rotary cleaner. Couldn’t get them very clean with what we have and they didn’t flow well as a result. #bigscienceexperiment #organicfarming #batchdryer #localfood #climatechangepreparednessBatch dryer close-up.

Events
Our annual Farm Tour & Tea is cancelled for 2019 due to an extremely wet planting season (we expect that some things might not be planted by the last week in June). We hope to host a potluck party on the farm later in the season instead. As soon as we have set a date, we’ll let you know here and via social media.
hey cool website molly. hope you had fun at the conference. send me some beans!
