If you are coming to the Co-op Farm Tour and Member Potluck this Saturday you might want to know what to bring. Just bring yourself! Okay, here are a few tips for a few more things that you might want to remember.
Guide to the Co-op Farm Tour
Posted by Jack McCann |
The 2017 Co-op Farm Tour has released their guide to the July 15th event. There will be over two dozen farms participating across the Twin Cities metro area (we are three of them!). This is a great chance to see local farms up close and doing their part to make sustainable, local farming with a purpose within reach for everyone.

Summer is here -- close those delivery coolers...

Members: Please remember to fully close the delivery coolers during the summer -- even egg coolers!
Nothing beats free eggs!

Anyone who has been reading this blog or following us for a while already knows we like to talk about our hens. Egg laying is a naturally cyclical process. Each winter, we usually give our hens a month off. Because it is good for them. But also because hens naturally lay fewer eggs in the winter. Of course, the flip side of that is that hens in late spring are laying eggs…

It's still a couple of months off (July 15 will be here fast!) but we're trying to get a feel for how many people might attend the Co-op Farm Tour or the potluck BBQ we are throwing for our members afterwards. If you could take the time to let us know if you are interested, that would be awesome!

Green Beans a la Shawn
Posted by Jack McCann |
Shawn (3) said he wanted bacon and green beans, but the bacon had to be crispy, not too fatty. Here is the result. Simple, yummy and nutritious. BONUS: What is the difference between the two TC Farm bacon options at Lakewinds?
