Please consider helping our friends Greg & Leah of Pokey Creek Farm. Their farm has nourished our community for decades and now they need help. Between a legal battle for their land and Greg’s cancer diagnosis, their need is great. Any little bit helps.

46 years ago Greg and I bought a very remote piece of ground in Northern Idaho. Slowl… Leah Sempel needs your support for Stand with Greg and Pokey Creek Farm

🥚 If you have clean egg cartons sitting in your kitchen or even the back of your car, please drop them by the farm stand. Our eggs suppliers are in dire need! Egg carton exchanges are important to keep the egg prices from going up, so please bring them by!

Things are popping and starting to grow faster after those warm days. Meanwhile winter is trying again. Lots of trays being filled these days in preparation for plants at Spence Hardware, our farmstand and the market. Also we got lucky and dug a bed of overwintered carrots so you can get lucky and find a bag in the farmstand! Nice and sweet after winter.

If you notice that the farmstand is a bit quieter it’s because we lost our miss Ellie Mae a week ago. Although she was almost 13 and seemed much younger we knew her time was close. We are thankful that she only had a couple days of feeling bad and that we got to spend the last day with her in her favorite spot over looking the farm. Words can’t explain how quiet it is around here and how much she will be missed. Timing is everything, and just as we turn a new chapter with our family, the season made a definitive change as well. We will stay open as long as we can but most likely that’ll be only a couple more weeks. If you come in the morning on a cold day and the stand isn’t loaded yet, fear not, we may delay putting things out until mid morning if it’s below freezing. The last of the tomatoes, beets, bunching onions, zucchini, and broccoli are out as well as other greens. Also, we harvested some decent sized lemongrass that can be used fresh or dried down for winter use. Thanks so much for coming!

The broccoli is speaking to you ‘come eat me’. We nailed the timing on this bed of fall broccoli, and the nice wet cool ...

The broccoli is speaking to you ‘come eat me’. We nailed the timing on this bed of fall broccoli, and the nice wet cool fall helped grow them big as you can see next to this farm girl’s head! Lots of fall crops in the farmstand this weekend including beets, carrots, frisée, escarole, winter squash and a few potatoes, with all the usuals as well. Good time to get your last fix for Caprese salad before the freeze.

Lots of tomatoes and basil coming on with this last of the summer heat. Come stock up for Caprese salads or dehydrate some summer sweetness for winter. Plenty of cherry or large tomatoes. Stock your freezer up with pesto made from our large leaf basil. Text Greg for bulk orders or pickup at the farmstand. 406-461-8467 thanks for your support!

Our kimchi is coming along great, nice and spicy and crunchy! If you haven’t made some yet it’s quite easy to follow a recipe. If Kimchi isn’t your thing the leaves make great taco wraps once lightly steamed. We have the last bed of Napa harvested until fall, so come get some! Also tomatoes are in full swing with some huge sizes great for sandwiches or canning. Farmstand is open 9am to dusk every day. Thanks for stopping!

We are jam packed full at the farmstand! Fresh in is napa cabbage, salad mix, kale and chard, arugula, cilantro, red butter lettuce, scallions, and our own big strawberries! The next four days is your last chance to get most plant starts other than herbs, we will be pairing plants down drastically next week. Thanks for a great spring season, find our stuff at the farmstand the rest of the summer!

We’ve got strawberries in the stand! Tonnemaker Farm had a few extra at the end of market so we decided to fill our last gap in the farmstand and make them available for you. Come get some garden candy and see if there is any other gaps in your garden to fill. This week will be the last week we have a full selection of starts at the stand then things start to dwindle down. Also the first pickling/eating cucs are in. Excelsior is a great variety that is not bitter making it wonderful for both fresh eating and pickling.

Good morning Spring! Some early morning harvest of braising mix and watering before our yearly beef butchering! We have Braising mix in the stand and it’s something I like raw as a salad. If you slightly cooked it takes the spice away. Also new to the stand is Love’s Kombucha more variety of cheese and our famous kale raab (last picture). Treat it as tender broccoli but don’t cook it much as the sweetness will be lost. Enjoy it as it only comes around once a year for a month or so!
