About the Farm
Background
The farm has a rich history of providing an abundance of produce and meats to the local community. Known for its diverse offerings, the farm has been a staple in the area, offering a variety of apple varieties, vegetables, and farm-fresh brown chicken eggs. Despite facing challenges like a fire in their packshed in October 2022, the farm continues to serve its community through CSA shares and direct deliveries.
Practices
The farm employs natural growing methods, avoiding the use of growth hormones, pesticides, or herbicides. While not certified organic, they prioritize chemical-free produce and naturally raised meats. Their philosophy revolves around sharing simple, recognizable foods and introducing new vegetables to their customers. They also emphasize the importance of giving back, donating to local food shelves and providing CSA shares to local pastors.
The Rest
The farm offers winter shares and hosts events like baby chick day and harvest celebrations. They provide free delivery on the second Tuesday of each month for orders over $100, covering a wide area from south of Mankato to north of the cities. They also engage with their community through social media updates and a mailing list for product availability and farm news.
