Farm Tour 2010


Today was the farm tour at Keppers. We started in the garden and moved to the surrounding area - talking compost at the various piles and viewing the former strawberry area that has been tilled by pigs.


Then we toured the two larger flower beds where the daylilies and hollyhocks are in bloom.





Next people donned long sleeved shirts and hats to head out to the field to check crop progress
there.


Upon return we enjoyed snacks from the garden - Asian Chinese cabbage salad, kale and carrots with pumpkin seed and umeboshi dressing, salted kohlrabi and turnips, turnip greens with two dressings - curry and a balsamic vinegar and walnuts, and many varieties of Ken's pickles.

The rain drove us indoors to finish our snack. We got an inch and a half in a short time period.

Thanks to those who came and participated.
