Happy 4th of July from the Mint Creek farmers! Pictured are the farm's human spawn, sister @katerina4raya "taste testing" @middlebrowbeer before handing out to event goers and brother @rainercarr taking a pasture walk after driving the GIANT tour trailer around like no big deal because of course he's done it many times before... These are more pics from Saturday's farm tour & dinner featuring @sarinkavage 's fantasy-worthy meal sponsored by @middlebrowbeer and @letherbee distillers via bartender extraordinaire @yourfriendwill with live music from the unforgettable @thepickinbubs ! For event tickets check out mintcreekfarm.com/events To those of you that have the day off, please savor it! To those of you don't, consider the farmers in the same lot! There's no break from farm chores, not even on the 4th of July! Farm dad Harry always says wryly about the endless work "no rest for the wicked!" #fourthofjuly #farmfamily #holiday #ecology
A few farm tour pics from Saturday here. If you didn't make it out then, check out tickets at mintcreekfarm.com/events to next event on July 20th featuring a meal by Jess Galli and the talented folks at @bungalow_by_middlebrow !! Farmer Harry @mintcreekfarm will be doing another tour then... Towards end of tour Saturday, we watched storms on the horizon epically pass us by! Embracing whatever weather the elements send is a core part of farming and connecting to nature. Thanks again to @pickinbubs for the live music and @middlebrowbeer @letherbee for the beverage sponsorships and @sarinkavage for preparing such an amazing weekend farm feast! #farmparty #feast #livemusic #farmtotable #farmtour #regenerativefarming #chicagoarea #ecologicalfarming #organicpastures #perennials #nitrogenfixer #watermanagement

Kickstarter link below for @earnest_earth farm I encourage you to give what you can to help Earnest Earth continue! EE offers Mint Creek Farm's eggs in their CSA shares, but more importantly, they are a community-focussed urban farm oasis within our pavement lined westside. We need more food grown in our communities not less! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/earnestearth/earnest-earth-farm-chicago #heirloomveggies #community #youngfarmers #chicagofarmers #local #food #csa #grassroots #fundraising
