About our Farm

We are a located on the bluffs of the Minnesota River near scenic Henderson, MN, near an abandoned village site named East Henderson.  Our farmsite and fields are nestled among mature trees, deep ravines, and crop fields that are typical of a southern Minnesota river valley.  

We grow Certified Organic produce for a CSA membership and wholesale to retaurants and grocery stores.  We also offer chickens for meat and eggs, grass fed & humanely treated beef, maple syrup, and wild edibles when available. 

We love to explore new farm enterprises and are currently keeping four dairy goats, and plan on getting some hogs and honeybees this spring!

Our farm has been in Josh's family for 4 generations, and we are now raising the 5th generation. We have a passion for building restoration and history, and all of our farm buildings have been moved in or re-built from salvaged lumber.  Our farm is 40 acres, including 20 acres of wooded ravines and building site, 10 acres of pasture, and 10 acres of field.



Organic Certification

  We have a deep appreciation for the natural world and ecology and this is why we have chosen to pursue organic certification, a system that produces food in harmony with nature. The soil is alive, and it is our responsibility to maintain that life, ultimately helping us grow nutritious and healthy crops.

We are proud to have 6 acres certified organic fields in 2012!  Our CSA vegetables are grown on certified organic ground, as well as the produce we have available to sell to restaurants and grocery stores.

you will be assured that all of your produce is free of any chemical pesticides, herbicides, and residues, and our fields are managed with a deep understanding of ecology and the natural world.  We have a detailed crop plan that helps us rotate crops and use green manures and mulches to maintain soil health and fertility!

Here is a picture of Miles and Sammy when I had Sammy in my kitchen. The cord is from the heating pad. Sam is doing well.

Farm lifeFebruary 10th, 2012

We lost another calf today. I am quite discouraged and down today. I feel like I didn't do enough and I am mad at myself for not knowing better. I keep saying to myself "you should have know that!" or
