NOTABLE MENTIONSARNOSKY'S NEW PEONY FARM Arnosky’s Family Farm has expanded to include a second location that will be the site of their new peony farm in the Minnesota Northwoods. The Arnoskys have planted 1,500 peonies on the farm in Toimi, Minnesota, the site of a historic Finnish homestead that once produced prize-winning rutabagas. Located near the Boundary Waters, surrounded by national and state forest land that is very sparsely populated, Pamela reports that the wolves howl at night and the stars are brilliantly bright! Why the expansion to the frigid far north? Peonies don’t grow in the Texas Hill Country with its wild weather swings, from arctic blasts in the winter to debilitating heat in the summers, but they do well in the Minnesota seasonal climes. It takes several years for the peony bushes to produce, and in the meantime, the Arnosky’s Wimberley home farm is perfect for winter and spring production in their fields, greenhouses and cold frames. Visit their farm market at the Blue Barn in Blanco, self-serve daily and on Saturdays for their full market. Directions and more at texascolor.com. |
