With forecast lows below zero the next few days, Mariénne and I are buckling down and taking it like true Minnesotans:  we’re heading south, visiting friends and family in Illinois and Indiana from Christmas to New Years.

Emily Rose and Willard will be taking care of the farm in our absence, so we know that the animals will be in good hands.

If you’re one of the folks who has or is joining Buffalo’s Local Roots Food Coop before the end of the year, and you want to pick up your free garlic and potatoes, you can call me on my cell at 763-244-6659, and I’ll arrange it with Emily Rose.

All the very best to each of you in this Christmas season!
