Much appreciated. Apparently it is not too early to be thinking about it. Gotta make sure we have room in the budget, too. Jason, I've heard Featherstone recommended many times. Amy, if they add a drop off at Lakewinds, that would be so perfect. We keep talking about trying to eat more healthfully in general and having read about how out of touch people can be with what grows around them, I figured this would be a great way to start to learn what grows in Minnesota and when. I'm sure I'll find something new that I've never eaten before, too. It's also a challenge for me to participate that fully in the process of feeding ourselves, so I'm probably way more excited about this than my girlfriend is, because at the moment I'm basically adding work for her figuring out what to do with all this stuff. Gotta start pulling my weight in the kitchen! Thanks, guys! Much appreciated. Apparently it is not too early to be thinking about it. Gotta make sure we have room in the budget, too.

If you're at all interested, I'd get your name on their waitlist now--they're very popular, but they just moved to a bigger farm so will be able to add more people next summer. I think their veggies are fabulous, and they're a lovely couple. They have a few pickup options; I always do the Saturday morning at Mill City Farmers Market. They may be adding Lakewinds this year too. But I can't recommend them highly enough--young people, very passionate, and the veggies, mmm, they speak for themselves. :-) The last two summers I’ve done a half-share with Loon Organics (www.loonorganics.com).

LOVED IT! Plus, I like that they're in Rushford, and fighting back from the huge floods from last year. The produce is great, the price is good, and you're doing something good.
