Farm hosts 'weed dating' for singles

Bed-hopping and hoe puns flew thick and fast at the second-annual Weed Dating event hosted by Earthly Delights farm in northwest Boise, Idaho. More than 40 participants showed up to jump into bed with each other, which was more than double the amount of RSVPs.



Men and women were fairly evenly matched, although at times it was hard to tell. The men seemed to struggle with the concept of rotating after each three-minute speed dating round and had the tendency to mill around looking lost. To kick the evening off, Earthly Delights owner Casey O'Leary laid out a few ground rules.

"Obviously, there are some matches that are probably not appropriate, age-wise," O'Leary said, "But we're all adults so let's have fun." The ladies were assigned specific beds and the men were directed by O'Leary, who instructed attendees on "what's a plant, what's a weed," in an effort to preserve the crops.



For many daters, this was a way for them to feel more comfortable interacting with the opposite sex without the fear of being shot down. "You meet somebody in the park and you don't know if they're there to be by themselves or meet somebody," said Loren Lorimor, "But here, it's a dating thing so people are here for a reason."
