8am, Yes - we are having our potato party!! the storms have passed, the radar looks good, it's time to celebrate the humble potato!!

Join us this Saturday from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM for an all-ages potato party! We will harvest potatoes, try a potato craft, and have a potluck meal at 11:00. Wear clothes to get dirty in and it would be extra fun if they are potato colored (brown, red, yellow, etc)!

Hello Mustard Seed Farm Friends,

Somehow it's already July, which is an action packed time here on the farm. Here are a few highlights of what's going on this month.
We are still trying to get all our crops planted! We managed to get a row of cucumbers and another of pole beans planted last week, but we are very behind on getting fall crops like winter squash in the ground. It's been a challenging year because we've been very short on labor, but we are doing our best and trying to do lots of creative decision-making.

The fields and the farm crew are becoming overwhelmed by weeds, and we need your help!

We'll be weeding this Saturday, June 28 from 8-12 PM.

RSVP recommended at 608-348-8988 but not required. Come help us fight our battle against the weeds!

YES, WE ARE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING TODAY!! 6/21
Farmers market 8am-12:30.
