Anyone know if the vegetable stand by the Corn Maze in Champlin is open this year?  I haven't been in the area and need to get some sweet corn for the winter, but don't want to drive down there if its not open.  Thanks for the help.

I haven’t been through there for a couple weeks but don’t recall seeing it open.  I might find an excuse to go by there tomorrow. If I do, I’ll let you know.

The stand isn't part of the maze festivities, separate little hut.  Same owners, same property, but it usually sits right on the corner of 169.  There was talk last year of shutting it down, not sure if it happened or not.

Looks like their still there.  Posted on FB 10hrs ago.

Fresh Pickin's

Have you visited our Brooklyn Park location? We are conveniently located there on the SE corner of 169 & 109th Ave, enter from 109th. We open at 9 there EVERY DAY, and stay until we've sold out. We have dozen bags bagged & ready on the shelves to the left, 1/2 dozen bags on the shelves to the right of the stand. Watermelon should be here tomorrow! We also carry a variety of seasonal produce from our farm including green beans, potatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, & more! Our friendly staff there is ready to help you!

 

You ever tried this corn. Pretty good stuff but a bit spendy!

 

"Amaize is local, too! Grown exclusively for Lunds & Byerlys by one of our local growers, Bert Bouwman, our Amaize corn is hand harvested to ensure the utmost quality. Located in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, Bert’s farm takes great care from seed to harvest to bring us the very best corn available."

Thanks Leech.  I'm not on Facebook so I never think to go that route.  Yes, the corn is awesome, to my mind worth the money.  The other veggies are good too, but I mainly go for the corn.  Been going there for many years, to the point that most other corn just can't match up.  Making room in the freezer today.

The way the corn looks I'm thinking this may be the same guy that grows exclusively for Lunds & Byerlys.  It has that same whiteish look?  That corn is crazy sweet! ?

 

1st pic is Byerly's site. 2nd is Fresh Pickin's site.  Looks darn the same stuff?

Finally stopped at the Fresh Pickens stand yesterday.  Picked up corn of course and tomatoes and a cantaloupe.  The tomatoes look fantastic and are at perfect ripeness but I didn’t detect any particular outstanding flavor.  The cantaloupe Is big and leaps and bounds better than the last one I got at the grocery store.

 

I think the corn is THE BEST corn on the cob I’ve ever had.  And that’s saying something coming from farm country in central MN where people are very proud of their corn and deservedly so.

 

Yeah… mmm… that was awesome.  Can’t wait till dinner tomorrow! ?

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
