habitat /ˈhabəˌtat/

A bird habitat is the specific natural environment providing the four essential necessities for a bird's survival and reproduction: food, water, shelter, and nesting sites.

We're thrilled each spring to see native birds like Eastern Bluebirds and Tree Swallows building nests in our bird houses!

Call to Action!

We need your help. Spring brings much joy to The Acreage. It also awakens invasive species prevalent on the land.

Alliaria petiolate, commonly known as Garlic Mustard grows rapidly, aggressively pushing out native plants, and changing the chemical composition of soil.

We need your help pulling Garlic Mustard in the woods before it goes to seed!

Details:

Date: Friday, May 8
Time: 9:00-12:00

We will meet at the Greenhouse sending out small teams to cover areas identified east and south of the Greenhouse.

What to bring: garden gloves, long pants, water bottle

No previous experience necessary!

We recently hosted author Diane Wilson for Seeds and Stories, a two-part writer's workshop celebrating her incredible book, The Seed Keepers.

As part of the month-long NEA Big Read Events, the workshop invited writers of all ages and skill levels to reflect on and write about special places in the St. Croix Valley and beyond. A shared love of nature ran through the group, reminding us of our personal connection to these places and our responsibility to protect them for future generations.

In part two, The Acreage's horticulturalist Cheryl Elliott and Diane led participants in making seed necklaces. Diane shared the Indigenous history of seed keeping and the reciprocal relationship we have with seeds. We wore our necklaces close to our hearts to nurture them and help them grow.

Fast forward a week and some of our little seeds are germinating!

Still feeling all the goodness from the final winter farmer's market with our friends from the .

The community vibe at the market is so warm and cozy that we asked our friend to do a little piece to capture the joy and magic!

If you've been to the market, drop a comment to let us know about your experience! Jump over to our YouTube channel to see the full length film.
