		<description><![CDATA[Great news to you from Cedar Summit Farm. The Minnesota Senate overwhelmingly passed HF854 yesterday, with the Buy the Farm language included. We have until midnight tonight to get the House to hear and approve their own bill, which we already know has great support. The finish line is near, and we are so close to victory. If you can take a few minutes to make a call or send an email, we can make this a reality. <a href="http://www.cedarsummit.com/2013/05/help-today-to-strengthen-buy-the-farm-law-and-support-minnesota-farms/">Learn how to help here.</a>]]></description>

After nearly 7 years away, we made the decision this winter to return to market. There is no where better than where it all began.
