Holy Smokes! Now We're in The Timberjay!!

Bear Creek Acres’ 15 minutes of fame has now increased to 25 minutes since The Timberjay, our local newspaper - which has editions for Ely, Tower-Soudan, and Cook-Orr, did a wonderful feature article on us. ( I checked their site, and it doesn’t look like you can read the article online.)  You can read it here.  One of the editors, Marshall Helmberger, came out to the farm and interviewed Shannon and me about a week ago.  We weren’t quite sure what he had in mind, and Saturday we were thrilled to see a long article with several color photographs about The Wycoffs, Unexpected Farmers. 

Unexpected Farmers relates to our story of never planning to farm. We had only intended to raise food for ourselves -  but selling one pig turned into selling 3, then 6, then 12…and so on. Marshall and his family personally support our commitment to helping protect our local food supply as well as shopping locally. He is a gifted writer and really captured us in a nutshell. One of our customers, Mickey, was quoted in the article saying nice stuff about our meat.

This sort of thing – the newspaper and radio interview - just doesn’t happen to us. 

I know that next week we’ll fade back into obscurity,

but for now we’re sure enjoying it.

What fun!
