Root and tuber harvest day! 🥕🥔

With temperatures climbing today, our farm crew headed into the fields early to harvest carrots and potatoes before the hottest part of the day.

Although both crops grow underground, they are not quite the same. A carrot is a root, the part of the plant that absorbs water and nutrients from the soil. A potato is a tuber, an enlarged underground stem where the plant stores energy.

Different crops, different ways of growing, and another beautiful harvest from the land. What a lovely way to start the week! 💚

What is your favorite way to prepare fresh carrots or potatoes?

We’re headed to the Minnesota State Fair! 🌻🎡

Find us Wednesday, September 2, from open to close at the Common Table in the Agriculture Building!

We’re bringing a little Frogtown Farm fun with us: spin our Trivia Spinner, check out our seed jars, test your farm knowledge, meet members of our team, and learn more about the many ways to connect with the Farm. 🌱

If you’re spending Wednesday at the Great Minnesota Get-Together, come find us and say hi! We’d love to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones. 💚

We’re grateful to the Minnesota Food Justice Network Metro Food Justice Network for bringing local organizations together through the Common Table.

Learning on an urban farm means seeing how everything is connected.

During this week’s Pathways to Wellbeing session, our young people visited Urban Roots at Rivoli Bluffs for a full day of hands on learning, exploration, and stewardship.

David, the Conservation Program Director at Urban Roots, began the day with a farm tour. He introduced the group to the different species living there and explained the unique relationships that help an urban farm ecosystem thrive.

Then it was time to meet the bees. 🐝

David walked the youth through the process of maintaining a healthy bee colony before they pulled on protective suits and approached the hive themselves. For some of the youth, this meant facing a very real fear. With encouragement and support, they found the courage to step closer, remain present, and experience the hive firsthand.

The group also gave back to the land by clearing weeds from a large patch and planting native plants beside the children’s garden. Those plants will provide habitat and resources for pollinators while supporting the larger ecosystem the youth had spent the day learning about.

This is what Pathways to Wellbeing is meant to create. It gives young people opportunities to learn with their whole selves, ask questions, try something unfamiliar, care for the land, overcome fears, and begin seeing the many roles they can play within our food system.

Thank you to David and the Urban Roots team for welcoming us, sharing your knowledge, and creating such a meaningful experience for our young people. We are grateful to keep growing and learning alongside you. 🌱

Yesterday gleaners from The Food Group joined us in the Frogtown Farm orchard to help gather fruit from the trees. 🍎🌳

What is gleaning?

Gleaning is the practice of harvesting fresh food that might otherwise remain in the field or on the trees. Gleaners provide farms with extra hands during busy harvest periods, help prevent good food from going to waste, and make it possible for more locally grown produce to reach people throughout the community.

For urban farms like ours, this support is especially valuable. Growing food is only one part of the work. It also takes people to harvest, sort, store, and move that food from the land to where it is needed.

Thank you to The Food Group and the gleaners who spent time in our orchard. Your hands helped us care for the harvest and make the most of what this land produced.

Want to put your hands to work, too? Join us tomorrow for Open Volunteer Hours at Frogtown Farm.

📅 Thursday, August 27
⏰ 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
📍 Frogtown Farm

Come ready to work, learn, and help us care for the Farm as the growing season begins to wind down. We would love to see you!

This is what abundance looked like at Frogtown Farm today. 🌱

Fresh radishes pulled from the soil. Crates filled with tomatoes. Cucumbers gathered and ready for what comes next.

The harvest may be the part we can see, but behind every crate are hours of planting, tending, watering, harvesting, sorting, weighing, and preparing food to move from the Farm into the community.

We are grateful for every person whose hands help carry this work from seed to harvest.

This is what it means to grow food, support farmers, and nourish community together.

🌿 Pathways to Well-Being returned to Frogtown Farm this week for Session 3: Rooted in Healing. 🌿

Participants explored healing not as “fixing” something broken, but as restoring identity, purpose, rest, and connection. 💚 We learned about healing plants that are growing on the farm and talked about the practices that help us and our communities feel grounded.

🎨 Young people also transformed flowers, leaves, herbs, and produce from the farm into natural color through bundle dyeing and eco-printing. By arranging the plants on fabric and then stamping the patterns, they created one-of-a-kind pieces carrying the colors and impressions of the land. 🌼🍃

The experience reminded us that healing can take many forms: spending time in nature, making art, learning from ancestral plant knowledge, resting without an agenda, and creating in community. 🌱🧘🏾‍♀️✨

Pathways to Well-Being is a free program for young people ages 16–24, bringing together land, wellness, food, creativity, and community at Frogtown Farm. 🤝🏾🌻
