Pfanny’s Farm, Randolph, Nebraska

This post highlights another Harvest Host stay in Nebraska. I had a wonderful stay with Gene & Julie Pfanstiel at Pfanny’s Farm.

Meet your farmers…Gene is the brawn, the inventor, and the repairman! He is pictured here in all his romantic glory-this is the bouquet he presented his wifey-flags to mark the new asparagus bed!

Julie is a former “library lady”, she is the gatherer of ideas, the dreamer, the list maker, and the adventurer (she also pulls a lot of weeds)! In this photo, she is clothed in her tomato and raspberry-picking (mosquito avoiding) gear.

I arrived at Pfanny’s Farm after another windy day on the road. Julie greeted me when I came down the driveway & Gene helped me get my camper parked for the night.

---

I took a tour of the farm with another couple who was staying at the farm that night. Julie took the three of us on around her beautiful property.

---

We started with her flock of chickens.

---

Julie then showed us where she does her magic! We walked through her geo-thermal greenhouse and saw all her well loved plants, herbs & trees. She gave us baskets when we started the tour & we filled them up from her bounty.

---

---

We took home lemons, oranges, garlic straight out of the ground, fresh herbs & lemon leaves from one of the trees. Julie advised us to crush them and pour over hot water to make a tasty drink. It was perfect for the cold evening.

---

Julie was generous with her time and home. She answered all of our questions and even gave us a tour of the cottage they have available on Airbnb. You can take a tour here.

---

I had a special connection to Julie because she was a former “library lady,” too. When you are in Randolph, Nebraska, stop by and say hello to the Pfanstiels. They have lots of activities, including tours, workshops & even children’s programming. Do yourself a favor & spend some time here. You will be glad you did.
