It must be a good year for rhubarb, I have loads of it as well. Time to make pies and jams!

It is great to see so many communities starting up Farmer’s Markets. Lemmon, SD is kicking one off this Summer. Here is a link:

That’s a great idea. The Senior Citizens’ Center here in Custer sometimes shows movies, and they also host several travel/cultural talks per year, so I think they might be open to this. The Custer County Annex is another place where this might be possible, but I do believe they have a fee. I’ll email Herb Ryan with the Custer Farmers Market & see if he has any ideas.

Hello Robin,

I am trying to organize screenings of FRESH the movie (http://www.freshthemovie.com/) around the state this spring. Ideally Spearfish, Rapid, Sioux Falls, Brookings and somewhere in the Southern Hills. Do you know anyone that would be interested. It can be at a home, school, outside anywhere.
Having the screening in conjunction with the first day of the Farmers Market, Earth Day, etc. seems logical. Any ideas?

Jeremy

Comment on Squash experiment a bust by Kamp Cook

Next year why not try old fashioned Hubbard Squash? They seem very hardy, they may not get as big as those grown at lower elevations but they may at least set something on. I have found them to be prolific and they keep growing until frost kills their vines! They are good keepers for the winter as well, but they are quite susceptible to squash beetles. Some gardeners grow Hubbards just tp keep the beetles away from their other squash varieties!

Comment on Egg recall expands to SD by Kamp Cook

I heard today that MT now has discovered the tainted eggs there, being sold from Walmart. Northern Plains News repeatedly gave the recall information and the recall codes today.

So true! I think the media calling these egg facilities "farms" is quite the euphemism; they are egg factories. Any company that recalls 380 million eggs is hardly a farm!

Thanks, Robin, for updating us on this issue. Any time huge numbers of chickens are raised in cramped quarters in huge barns, the spread of disease is only a matter of time. Luckily we here in West River have the option of buying from farmers we know, farmers who give their chickens fresh air and sunshine.
