An idea germinates at RGB...

This past week anther order came in from Native Seeds. Our good friend Matt, aka The Lenger suggested that we consider growing more blue corn because blue corn, when distilled down makes good whiskey! Not that anybody we knows makes or distills whiskey around here... wink, wink! So we ordered some more and then it occurred to us that IF we ever had whiskey made from blue corn that we grew... how cool would it be to sip on that whiskey whilst smoking a cigar made from tobacco that we grew!!! And so we ordered up some more tobacco that can be used as a wrapper for the other tobacco that we are growing... unfortunately, making whiskey and aging tobacco takes time so neither one would be ready in time for The Lengerfest, which is a celebration of the harvest and the good things in life! So I thought...hmm... what could we do... we need to sip that whiskey - if it ever gets made- and smoke those cigars... so why not have another festival! We could have a 'Spring Fling'... invite people over to help get the garden ready for planting and/or start planting and then finish over the day with some RGB grown whiskey and tobacco! So the order was placed and not only did we get the blue corn and tobacco we also recieved some Hopi Branching Sunflowers (to feed to the birds this winter) and some Acoma Rattle gourds that we can use... either as something practical or as a source for craft projects. We are still coming up with the details for our spring planting festival... If you have any ideas be sure to drop us an e-mail!
