A great farm out in western Minnesota

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I was out in Western Minnesota last weekend visiting my boyfriend's family and

just wanted to put a good word in for a lovely organic farm I visited out there.

It is called Earthrise Farm and is run by Benedictine nuns and a few interns.

The closest town is Madison, MN. They have chickens, herbs, vegetables, a

meditation labrynth and a fabulous yurt (round dwelling) that visitors are

welcome to stay in. The sisters that run the place are incredibly generous and

kind. I bought about 6 dozen eggs from them and the quality is just about the

best I've ever seen, vibrant orange-yellow yolks. That's to be expected, since

their chickens run about everywhere underfoot, eating plants, bugs, and organic

grains and flax.
