We are celebrating the GINGER harvest! On Saturday October 5th and Sunday October 6th join us for Ginger Fest. We’re celebrating the ginger harvest, a crop that is not usually grown here in Minnesota. Pick up some freshly harvested organic ginger, ginger syrup, ginger tea, ginger cider, ginger ale, PLUS ginger gelato and candied ginger made by Rustic Island Farm. Meet the adorable alpacas and shop for alpaca wear as the weather begins to chill. On Saturday Thai Thai Street Food will be serving up his delicious Thai food and will include our fresh ginger in his creations. At 6pm Bluegrass Jam takes the stage. On Sunday 10/6 feast on the Extraordinary Wood-fired Pizza by El Hornito Wood Fired Pizza and walk the Sugar Maple Trail of Colors. Always fun for the whole family including the dog!

September CSA harvest includes: leeks, grapes, apples, cucumbers, heirloom tomatoes, sage, hearty greens (collards, kale, chard), one dozen eggs and three four packs of beverages.

There is no such thing as toon many Minnesota apples. We will happily take your unwanted apples and magically convert them into our award-winning cider! Sorry, we do not have the staff available to come and pick them. We do have a big bin to drop them off, and we greatly appreciate them!

We welcome mushroom expert Kathy Yerich to the farm. She will be doing a presentation about foraging for mushrooms, and we will take a walk on the trails of our 172 acres to see what we can find (observation only, no harvesting). 

“Start Seeing Mushrooms” Co-author of the popular and accessible local field guide, Mushrooms of the Upper Midwest. Kathy Yerich has been hanging out with the Minnesota Mycological Society (MMS) and North American Mycological Society (NAMA) for more than 15 years. 

THIS EVENT IS FREE but registration required and limited to 50 participants. Please be kind and not take more tickets than you know for sure that you need. If you have to cancel, please let us know ASAP so we can make the tickets available to others on the waiting list. REGISTER HERE
