Montana Writes October 18

Hi everyone: Well, it’s Tuesday, and Farmer Kurt has taken off from his day job at ADM to get the garlic beds up. Forecast is calling for rain for the next few days, and we need to get that garlic in the ground before it gets too much colder. The garlic seed should be arriving [...]

Montana Writes October 10

Well, thanks to everyone who slipped me a marshmallow last Saturday. Did you catch the Pumpkin Hunt pictures? It was super. The winner of the Pumpkin Hunt was Laif Thorbahn, and second place went to Anna Siegel. Kids had a grand time running around in the dark with their glow-sticks and eating cider donuts. Our [...]

Montana Writes October 2

Well our apologies that we had to postpone the Pumpkin Hunt. Hopefully we’ll see you this weekend as we give it one more go. I am looking forward to sneaking some donuts myself. Uncle Nick is back this week for as long as it takes to finish the high tunnel. They got a lot done [...]

Montana Writes Week 16

Please turn off the faucet! We are once again surrounded by water on all sides. Luckily, Kurt checks the weather every few hours and he knew rain was coming. So he was able to harvest most of the stuff on Sunday night. This has been a weird week since we had to harvest two different [...]

Montana Writes Sept. 20

Hi everyone! The Corn Boil was a huge success! We couldn’t have ordered a more perfect weather day. Thanks to everyone to slipped me a burger on the side. I heard Sienna found a few stray plates here and there too. There sure were a lot of sweet potato dishes and apple tarts/pies/crisps! Hmmm…. Wonder [...]

Montana’s Diary Sept. 5

I want to wish little Josiah a happy 3-month birthday! How is he that old already? Josiah was baptized this past Sunday, so we had a lot of family at the farm to celebrate, including Corinna’s father and brothers (who met Josiah for the first time). I got to smell a meal of Italian Beef [...]

Montana Writes August 29

Hi everyone! Well, well, it’s been a relatively quiet week here at the farm. Sienna has been medicated for her tapeworm, and seems to have no knowledge of the fact. She is as bouncy as ever. I am lying around quite a bit these days. I get teased for being so sedentary, but when you’re [...]

Montana Writes August 23

Happy Birthday to Kurt’s mom, Cindy Bench this week! The Bench Bunch got together on Friday for a swim party and cookout to celebrate the occasion. I did not get invited however. I am still a bit miffed. Is it because I eat everyone’s food? We found out that Sienna has a tapeworm! She is [...]

Montana Writes August 16

Hi everyone! It’s been a full week. Josiah got his shots last Wednesday and came down with a fever, but he’s doing much better. Sienna’s in the doghouse again. After Kurt and Jed filled in all the holes she dug this summer, she proceeded to dig some more right next to the old ones. We [...]

Montana Writes August 8

Hi everyone! Someone turn off the faucet, seriously! We had more rain fall, although Kurt got out in the fields on his tractor to “disk” up the weedy fields before it hit. At least most of the back garden beds look better. Some of the beds were so overgrown with weeds (like our carrots), that [...]
