Decided to share some observations about the blond sugar snap peas. MMMMM.....good. Very sweet. Not pretty all the time. Noticed as the flower grows into a pea, it sticks on and creates a brown mark. You can wash some of it off. Still tastes great. Your mouth doesn't care if there is a spot, but, your eyes might. I just remember what Grandma Inez Dragseth always said "waste not, want not". We are so used to grocery store prefect that it is difficult to use something that isn't prefect. Just think about the massive food waste and you can handle a little imperfection. Hope everyone is having a great week. The 1.5 inches of rain was appreciated.

About the farm
DragSmith Farms is a 104-acre Certified Organic Produce Farm located just north of Barron, WI along the pristine Yellow River. About 34 years ago Maurice and Gail bought the farm that has been in Gail's family 120 years. DragSmith comes from a blending of Gail's maiden name, Dragseth, and our shared last name, Smith. We did this to signify the new and old and to create a bit of mystery.
We grow approximately 30 acres of produce that we market along with honey maple syrup and other products from neighboring farms. We sell to some of the finest restaurants and food co-ops in Minnesota and Wisconsin. As a certified organic grower, we utilize all of the regulations required for organic certification and in fact go the extra mile to preserve our farm and our environment.
