Open house at the farm – Labor Day, September 5. 1-4 pm

Dear Folks:

The open house is  September 5, Labor Day 1-4 pm. I hope you can come. Bring friends if you like. There will be snacks.

The time from 1-2 is accessible for people with special covid concerns; please everyone wear a mask indoors.

2-4 just drop in and see the house, the new spaces plus what you all have done; maybe also go for a walk outdoors and see the flowers and plants so many of you have given.

At 4 I’ll offer brief Zen meditation instruction for those interested.

We’ve been here seven years. A lot has changed. A few years ago we created a meditation hall (zendo) in the basement, which has been used since then for retreats, meditation, classes, and some online events. This spring we expanded the first floor to add windows and sleeping space for guests and new residents. The outdoors continues to evolve, now including gardens and trails, and now some native prairie development.

Tours indoors and out, as we like.

Some covid safety thoughts (so sad but seems necessary)

• People who are covid-vulnerable or care for vulnerable people are welcome to come 1-2; masks will be required indoors during that time. You can tour the house safely and stay as long as you feel comfortable.
• Everyone else in general, feel free to visit 2-4, look around the house,  visit the creek or the river, and socialize.
• Of course, if you’ve been exposed to covid or if you are sick, please stay home to protect everyone.

RSVP is encouraged but not required. Helpful comments include how many people, whether you need the “safe” time of 1-2, and if you’re thinking about staying for the intro session.

Getting here: Please read the DIRECTIONS and PARKING sections of this page:  Visitor information  And park on the left before the house, on the grass. On the actual day, call or text me at 507-384-8541, I’ll do my best to answer.
