Strawberry Social Sadness
It is with deep regret that I must announce the cancellation of this year's much-anticipated Strawberry Social, originally scheduled for this week. The decision comes due to the significant impact of recent rainfall on our fields, which has left the ground saturated and our strawberries compromised. The excessive rain has not only damaged our crop, resulting in muddy and spoiled berries, but has also caused severe soil compaction. This makes it impossible for us to safely accommodate the large number of visitors expected for the event without further harming the land.
It has been a WET Spring!
This spring's much-needed rain has ended Minnesota's drought, but it presents challenges for Featherstone Farm. Despite the wet weather, we're prioritizing CSA commitments, maintaining planting schedules, and managing foliar diseases. Our team works tirelessly, even in the rain, to bring you fresh produce. Thanks for your support! 🌧️🌱

Abby's Journal: Field Production Winter Work
Yesterday Grace and I made the yearly trek to the off-grid home of our "soil gurus" Bob Dahse and Larissa Walk. Bob & Larissa are long time friends of Jack who have advised and done all sorts of work with Featherstone over the years. Their self sufficient and sustainable lifestyle is pretty inspiring.
Jack’s Kitchen Journal: Prepping Spinach
The long and the short of this is that January spinach from high tunnels in Minnesota is a completely different deal than spinach grown in the desert southwest. And one place that this difference shows up is in the level of washing and packing that happens to it in advance of you receiving it.
