Nankin Cherry Jam & Jelly

A late frost took out half our our production this year but we will have a small quantity available. Nankin cherries are native to MN and produce a small pitted fruit. They are small, about 3/8 to 1/2 inch in size. It takes a lot of cherries to produce a jar. The chief canner and lowly picker will happily explain this to you.

We have many requests for special orders this year so act early at the Mahtomedi, St. Anthony and Shoreview markets.

Thanks for the Rain!!!!

Our produce is coming along fine after some much needed rain. We have lettuce and onions now and anticipate sweet corn by the end of July. We pick our corn daily so you can be assured of its' freshness...none of it is that Texas corn that was picked two weeks ago.

Weeding is always a challenge in a chemical-free gardening effort. My current favorite tool is a long handled push/pull tool that cuts off weeds below the surface. I've found it very effective if used daily. If your schedule means less frequent weeding you may find the weed parts restarting with enthusiasm. A quick racking can minimize that effect.

The farmers' market season is just around the corner.

Onions will be the first special.
