As many of you know, Abby and I have ended our Prairie Roots Farm partnership. I am open to ideas about what direction the farm could take. This past summer 6 or 7 people grew produce for themselves at the farm. But mostly the beds generated a lot of weeds. A big thank you to all of you who supported our adventure for the eight years we were operating!
