There have been a few conflicting drafts of our schedule out there - this email is to confirm that tomorrow, Saturday May 18
YES, we will be at the ames downtown farmers market
NO, we will not be hosting a workday on the farm (saturday or Sunday)
Here's a picture of some prairie plants we will have to sell soon - blue false indigo, rattlesnake master, and more.

we had posted that we would be having a planting day tomorrow, saturday april 27, but we are cancelling it due to the cold, windy, rainy forecast.

However, a group of people are working on the farm this morning and you are welcome to join us! 9am-noon, friday april 26, today. it's sunny, but a bit windy and cool, so dress in layers and dress to get dirty.

sorry for the last minute notice!

Hello friends,

Springtime is wild! We've had a few lovely days, and then lately, we've been trying to work in 30-50 mph winds, with clouds, rain, and 40 degree weather. It's been challenging, but we've gotten our greenhouse built (it handled these winds no problem!), burned our prairie, and planted about 150 berry plants. The next 2 days, Saturday and Sunday, look to be much lovelier, with calm winds, sunshine and highs of 50! Come out either afternoon to help us plant.

hello friends,

we woke up this morning to snow, but we still know that it's spring!
Now that it's April, things on the farm are action packed. We would love your help with carpentry, organizing, and planting this month.

SAVE THE DATE!
