A few snapshots from Earthrise Farm, one of the stops on our Meander tour last Saturday.

Earthrise is an organic farm founded & managed by two School Sisters of Notre Dame, who are also biological sisters that grew-up in Lac qui Parle County and came home in the 1990s to work the land they were raised on.

Sister Kay and Earthrise educator/intern Kat gave us a tour of the farm, which features organic vegetable plots, a yurt that they rent to visitors, a schoolhouse they moved to the site to use as an environmental science classroom, teaching gardens, a chicken coop, a pottery studio and art workshop, a kitchen where they hold food education classes for local children, and a hearth in the woods for bonfires and storytelling.
