First Flax field spring 2024
Exciting news on the farm!! Our very first flax field was planted last week Wednesday April 10th. It was a very beautiful day with small rain showers in the area but not enought to stop the guys from going out! The sky was so beautiful as well with puffy white clouds with a blue sky between them. Our field is along interstate 29 in South Dakota so a lot of folks will hopefully drive by and wonder what the blue flowered field is. We can’t wait for this new adventure to take a full turn around from planting to harvest! If anyone has questions or wants to place an order just call 605-693-7333 or head over to the shop!
