And there are several companies here that are contract manufacturers for other companies. But it can be surprisingly hard to find companies that manufacture their own items right here in the state. Collected below is a list of apparel manufacturers that produce some items right here in Minnesota. == Barmah Hats == * [https://barmahhats.com https://barmahhats.com] * Located...")

- 06:59, 1 April 2025 A Few Fall Traditions (hist | edit) [4,888 bytes] Karlexceed (talk | contribs) (Created page with "'''Written by:''' karl As I'm writing this, it's closer to winter than summer, but I'd like to share a bit about my favorite season and the traditions we try to keep in my household. Autumn is by far my favorite season - the cooler weather (most years anyway), the changing leaves, best holiday Halloween, and of course all the food we can harvest and feast on. Thanks to the industrial revolution, you can eat basically anything, anywhere, year-round these days, but eatin...")
- 06:34, 1 April 2025 A Very Brief Intro to Farm Shares (hist | edit) [1,947 bytes] Karlexceed (talk | contribs) (Created page with "'''Written by:''' karl I love farm shares and I think you should too. If you're a farmer you can have a more reliable income, and if you're a consumer you can get great local produce without needing to shop the farmer's market every weekend. A farm share, also commonly referred to as a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), is basically a contract or partnership between farmers and consumers. People purchase a "share" of the farm's expected harvest in advance and then...")
- 06:22, 1 April 2025 Geocaching (hist | edit) [1,431 bytes] Karlexceed (talk | contribs) (Created page with "'''Written by:''' Aiden I had a geocaching phase last summer, and I believe I found about 4 or 5 in North/central MN. However there were a few destroyed or that I couldn't find. There was a surprising amount of caches for a small lake town, and that seems to be a pattern across the state. I had no idea it was such a big thing! I think that geocaching is a fun activity to do, and it would be very fun to make a cache as well and see who logs it! It's a niche, but very we...")

(hist | edit) [860 bytes] Karlexceed (talk | contribs) (Created page with "I got bored and asked an LLM (I think it was Google's Gemini): Can you summarize the meaning of the phrase, "Minnesota living"? I thought the answer was kinda fun, so I'm posting it here. <blockquote> The phrase "Minnesota living" conjures up images of a high quality of life with a strong focus on the outdoors. Here's a breakdown of what it typically implies: '''Beautiful natural environment:''' Abundant lakes, opportunities for hiking, biking, and other outdoor activ...")
- 07:55, 31 March 2025 Be Nice and Buy Local (hist | edit) [3,371 bytes] Karlexceed (talk | contribs) (Created page with "When I'm shopping for something, I always try to buy as locally as I reasonably can. Local retailers, local manufacturers, and local materials or ingredients. Buying locally is better in several ways. It's better for the environment by reducing the amount of transportation that items need to get to you. It's good for the local economy by keeping the money nearby and circulating instead of flowing directly out to a giant corporation that moved it's headquarters overseas...")

For better or worse, I agreed to take it on without a second thought. I had a rough idea of how they were built and what I might want to do, so I fired up SketchUp and created a quick approximation to make sure that the scale and structure were going to look right. center|500px|A render from SketchUp. I don't recall the exac...")
