PEPPER PLANT SALE
Spring 2026 in the Driftless is absolutely beautiful! More than 1000 pepper plants have been growing and hardening off in the greenhouse and I have been planting all week into beautiful garden beds amended with Cowsmo black dirt, compost and local organic oat straw for mulch. The rain has been slow and steady this week and we are off to a great growing season

Flood 2024 update (June 29)
Gardening and farming are always a balance between hope and risk, and with our massive rain levels and flooding River, several of my garden plots at Prairie Island Campground are being flooded and I stand to lose more than 100 beautiful pepper plants. I did however harvest more than 200 garlic plants this morning, a couple weeks early, but the bulbs are beautiful.
More bad news, I have not been able to plant my production plot of 600 peppers at Featherstone Farms because their fields are waterlogged from heavy rains and they cannot prepare beds for planting. My greenhouse is full of peppers and ready to go once the field dries out.
What does all this mean? Hot sauce production will be later this year with fewer bottles available. Stay tuned and I'll update what is available for sale and when. Thanks you for your patience and understanding.
