SALE POSTPONED UNTIL JUNE 14 & 15

Due to bad weather and overextension of my time and energy, I have decided to postpone the heirloom plant sale until Friday & Saturday, June 14 & 15. The native edible perennials are ready to go but some of the annuals need a little more time to develop. I will stick around the farm in case folks show up anyway. Sorry for the short notice. It has been a crazy week, and it seems it will probably get worse before it gets better.

Heirloom Vegetable and Native Fruit Sale Saturday & Sunday, June 1 & 2

Spring is off to a slow start but the bulbs I planted last fall are starting to pop up. Tulip leaves and crocus flowers are starting to dot the front yard. So far there is nothing available for sale from Magic Summer Minifarm. However, I have been preparing for the June 1-2 heirloom vegetable and native fruit sale and I have listed the varieties that will be part of the sale below. Depending on the inventory left after the June 1-2 plant sale, I may add a second weekend sale in June. Or I may let it dictate, to some extent, the contents of the garden. Fond du Lac Reservation is starting a monthly farmers' market this year in July. Look for Magic Summer Minifarm produce there (more details to come).
