What do you do when you have a large farm, grow everything under the sun, and can cook home made food to die for? Apparently you open a restaurant in your front yard!
A new state law is waiting for Governor Dayton's approval which will require farmers to install a 50-foot buffer between their crops and public lakes, streams and ditches. A conservation buffer is an area of permanent vegetation that helps control pollutants and manage other environmental concerns before they hit the water.
Living on a small hobby farm is often exciting, sometimes challenging but always, always a great learning experience. This weekend I learned that there are wild unicorns out there.
