Labor Day means we lose many of our summer workers as they head back to high school and college. We are very shorthanded, especially the week of September 10th. If you have some free time and would like to work some, please give me a call at 920-992-6413.

We have harvesting work every weekday morning and every weekday afternoon except Tuesdays. A morning on the farm is worth 2 mornings at the gym…

This Saturday, the 8th is the annual Fall Farm Party. We will get started around 4pm and go as long as folks are here. Last year, folks stayed until around 11pm.

The party is potluck. The farm will provide all the plates, utensils, cups, etc. We will have coffee, lemonade, and iced herbal teas. We will also have marshmallows for the campfire. Please bring a dish to share. Feel free to bring alcohol if you want. Also please bring a folding chair. We do have some, but not enough for everyone.

I would also suggest that you bring bug spray. Since all the rain, the mosquitoes have been out in flocks. Bug repellent will be necessary.

I hope all of you can come.

Directions to the Farm

From Madison: Take Stoughton Rd/Highway 51 north. About 15 miles north of Madison, turn right on Highway 60. Go east 5 miles. Look for County Highway C, but don’t turn on it. Take the 2nd left after Highway C onto Old F Rd. Take Old F to the end. Turn right and then an immediate left back onto Old F. Take the 1st right onto Moore Rd. Go 1½ miles and turn left onto Severson Rd. The farm is the first place on the left.

From Portage: Go east on Highway 16 to Otsego. Turn south on Otsego Rd. Take the 2nd right onto Breen Rd. Go one mile and turn left on Severson Rd. I’m the 3rd place on the right.

From Columbus: Same directions as Portage but go west on 16 to Otsego.

This Saturday, August 4th is our greenhouse raising party. We will start at 2 pm and work until 7. Then we will have food and relaxation.

We have the bows up for one greenhouse. We need to put up the purlins and the baseboards. Also we could build and raise bows for the second greenhouse.

We need folks of all skill levels to help with the building project. If you want to do something else, you can help with the dinner preparations. Or I can find something to be weeded. It is also possible to just sit in the shade and cheer us on.

I need folks to RSVP so we can prepare the proper amount of food. If you can, bring a folding lawn chair for dinner.

Also if you have a cordless drill, ratcheting wrenches and a deep socket set, they would be helpful in the building process. 6 foot or 8 foot ladders would be nice as well.

So I hope you can join us. Children are welcome. (Riley will keep them all busy!). Please RSVP.
