(Shelby) The Board of Directors of Carstens 1880 Farmstead has decided to postpone Farm Days this year until September 11 & 12, 2021.
During a recent Board meeting it was decided that it would be too difficult to provide physical distance for the dinner, plus the on-going COVID-19 situation could impact attendance. The Board decided to cancel the chicken dinner plans this year.
This year the potato harvest, or digging, will go on as planned during the traditional Farm Days weekend. The public is invited to come to the farm and gather the freshly dug potatoes. Gates will be open from 10 am – 4 pm on Saturday, September 12. Potatoes will be on the ground and on a trailer as in past years. The Board is asking that a donation be made to the farm by anyone who gathers potatoes. The donation will be used to help with the maintenance of the farm.
