Montana Writes after Thanksgiving

Did you get any turkey? Kurt and Corinna took Jed and Josiah to Maumee Bay State Park over Thanksgiving weekend, for the annual Hill family reunion — around 35 people. There was turkey, stuffing, the famous Bench noodles, green bean casserole, Butterscotch Torte, pecan and apple pies, and Corinna’s sweet potato casserole. Sienna and I [...]

Farm Gets Tiled at Last!

The field tile is getting laid! For those of you who were members of our CSA in 2011, you know what a rough year we had. Our fields were underwater for several weeks due to the heavy rains, and as a result, we had several crop failures. This led to our decision to get our [...]

High Tunnel is Finished

This past Saturday, a group of 6 loyal friends and family members braved the cold weather to install the final portion of our EQIP high tunnel — the plastic poly layer.
