This August, I traveled to rural Minnesota to visit one of our local farm partners. Luckily for me, there was a break from last week's high humidity and peak mosquito activity, which made for a comfortable visit this time. I met with Jason, a second generation farmer and now organic farm manager. I started my visit at what they refer to as the “home farm” where I got to see Jason's childhood home and the land he grew up on. They still grow a few crops on four acres of this land, but most of their growing is now done on other plots nearby.
