It has been an exciting summer at the Cable Community Farm! We’ve hosted the Drummond School Edventure Club, girl scout groups, 4-H groups, and the Jr. Naturalists from the Cable Natural History Museum. We’ve grown tons (literally!) of fresh produce, raised chickens and ducks, housed a family of grey foxes, had three terrific interns from Northland College, held classes and workshops, and planted a native plant pollinator garden. Now we are developing a “Downtown Garden” for residents in downtown Cable.

We added a dozen laying hens to the Community Coop and raised Cornish X Broilers and Pekin Ducks for a local source of meat.

A family of grey foxes lived under the farmhouse, attracting lots of attention from local wildlife photographers.

Sarah Boles, of Northern Native Plantscapes, led a hands-on workshop to help us install a native plant pollinator garden.
