Well, what hasn’t floated away is looking pretty darn good. One thing about Mother Nature, it never gives you a chance to rest. We started harvesting some items for the CSA program and things are going great.

Market News
If We Plant It They Will Come
July brings yet another month of change in our market building. We make room for the farm fresh produce that begins arriving from our fields. What could be better than a farmer’s market every day of the week! Our produce wins the taste test hands down. Your family’s health will benefit from the wide variety of our delicious and tasty fresh vegetables and fruits.
July in Bloom
Welcome to sunny July. Here we go with the height of summer. Barbecues, root beer floats, smores, and colorful gardens. Life is good!
In July we begin to enjoy the benefits of our spring garden chores. Your annual flowers should be thriving and beautiful, and your vegetable gardens will be bringing food to the table.
July Plant of the Month
The species Lonicera is commonly known to our customers as Honeysuckle and is known to them as a hardy vine or a flowering shrub. A new variety of Honeysuckle, Lonicera caerulea var. kamtschatica, a fruiting variety, is making a name for itself after being introduced to American markets.

Number of years of service at Pahl’s:
I was 5 years old when my grandma taught me how to bag corn. Starting at about age 10 I started being the popcorn girl and working the pop station at CornFest. I suppose if you count all of that, I have been working at Pahl’s for about 15 years.
Pahl’s Annual Tractor Show
We are finally enjoying some beautiful weather! Memorial Day was stunning and we are hoping for more of the same this month. We like to celebrate Father’s Day with a Tractor Show both Saturday June 14th and Sunday June 15th. There are tractors that cover 75 years of Pahl family farming that will be on display in our parking lot. Stroll our lot and see the vintage and modern day tractors. Remember to bring your camera along for some great photo opportunities.
News from the Wet Field
Dad is looking down shaking his head thinking I am glad where I am. Two Spring seasons back to back where it has been miserable trying to get the crops in on a timely fashion. With the cool temps and abnormal amount of rain the lakes and streams are full (with the exception of White Bear Lake). Ground water levels are being recharged and restored to normal levels in hopes of being ready when the crops need them.
Pinch Me, It’s June!
Now that June is here and it is warm and sunny you can begin the grooming and pinching of certain annuals as they take off with quick growth. One of the most wonderful plants that gets even more beautiful is the Supertunia. Supertunias are one of our favorite plants for beautiful color and a wonderful growth habit. Supertunias have the capability to create branches on their stems and they really become full when you pinch them back a bit. Just cut off the longest stems a few inches to just beyond where leaves come off of a stem.
