First Farm Day

Hi everybody!

Heidi here.  Thought I’d take a moment to introduce myself.  After spending four years away from South Dakota earning my degree at the University of Montana and working for a year in Minneapolis, I’ve returned to my rural South Dakota roots.  I’ve seized the opportunity to return to my home state and become involved in the good work of sustainable farming.  During my apprenticeship here at Prairie Coteau Farm I’ll be learning the ins and outs of market gardening, raising chickens, and operating a small-scale organic farm. 

Today was the long-awaited First Farm Day.  Unfortunately the weather wasn’t as upbeat as I, and the rain and cold forced us to spend the day inside starting seeds under the grow lights and putting tomatoes and peppers to pot.  The inside work gave Kristianna and I a chance to get acquainted and to chat about what the farm season will look like this year.

First farm day accomplished, many more to come!
