Medicine Gardens is in the news!

We just had our first Capital City Farmer's Market on Saturday and had a wonderful time selling our soap, lip balm, lotion bars, popcorn, cookies, and fresh ground Mandan Bride corn flour.  We've also been finding our way into the local news lately.  Our hometown newspaper, the Pierre Capital Journal, visited our place last week and wrote this very nice piece about our gardens, the varieties we grow, and the little slice of heaven that is Canning, SD.  Then at the market we chatted with another Capital Journal reporter and found ourselves in this article.

We count ourselves as very fortunate to be getting such good press, not to mention press at all, and applaud the interest our hometown journalists have shown in local foods and market.
