My inventory of antique and collectible treasures come mostly from Carver County.  The high quality reflects the fine character of the people who settled and developed this charming Minnesota community.

I have been collecting for over 40 years.

 

I send a weekly email newsletter during the summer to keep you up to date on what produce is available and what is going on At the Farm in general.  Each  newsletter also features a different topic - gardening tips, recipes, cooking ideas, canning hints, comments from customers, etc.

Click here and you can send me your email address for the 2009 weekly newsletters.

New for 2009! Pride and Glory Garden Project!
Unemployed? If you come to my farm, I will give you seeds and starter plants to grow vegetables.  If you are a beginning gardener, what you need is an old gardener, like me, to get you started so you can become an excellent gardener. If you already know how to grow, you still need me for the best varieties to grow in this area!

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
