Homeschool Program Update

BFS beekeeper Dane shared his presentation on beekeeping, pollination, and the importance of bees in our world. The children and parents loved it! When he brought out actual parts of the hive (within a wooden frame for safety) it was magical. The children also enjoyed trying on the beekeeping suits.

Farm Stand Open

The Farm Stand continues to be organized as we receive daily deliveries of stock items for the new cabinet--made by Joe Russo--Thank You, Joe AND donated by Deb Matson and Gail Tonnessen--

Space is limited at the farm stand, so we can no longer accept donated items like vases and shopping bags.

Check out the refurbished farm stand Saturday and our produce and farm items.

NEW PRODUCE SAFETY PROGRAM AT BFS

These new regulations are all about preventing food-borne illness. We want our visitors and customers to know that we have done the best we can to ensure that produce safety practices are followed at BFS. We need to remember that food safety is a shared responsibility from farm to table – from growing, harvesting, and processing to retailer and consumer. See more here.
