The Rhubarb Festival is back in Lanesboro Saturday, June 6th! Enjoy fun-filled festival entertainment, eat some yummy food, and try your hand at the free rhubarb games and contests.
I grew up with rhubarb in a few places on our farm, and although we have tried to grow here the process has been slow.
For now our girls like to enjoy rhubarb from their grandparents farm when they go to visit. They eat it straight from the garden! Although some prefer a bit of sugar as it can be tart.
I’m not quite that adventurous, but I do like it baked in a cake. I might be adventurous as I just found a recipe for Rhubarb cookies that I might try.
