Farm Products
For a true farm-to-table experience, we offer a variety of products grown or raised right here on the farm. Pricing and availability are subject to change. Please call 763.694.2001 for questions on specific items.
Eggs
Our hens lay a mix of brown, white and blue-green eggs. They are raised cage-free without hormones or antibiotics. They are fed conventional grain and discarded garden and grocery produce. Due to the popularity of our eggs, we sell out quickly. We recommend you call the farm to check on availability before coming out to buy eggs.
Chicken
Our chickens are raised on pasture in portable pens. We purchase chicks and raise them for 10–12 weeks. They roam during the day eating grass, bugs and worms and are penned at night for protection from predators. They are fed grain from local farms transitioning to organic (chemical-free but uncertified) and receive no hormones or antibiotics.
Chickens are processed once each month from June to September. Chickens are whole and frozen and are available for purchase at the visitor center on a first come first serve basis while supplies last. Please call if you would like to have your name and email added to our contact list.
Turkey
We raise bronze breasted and Eastern white turkeys. The baby poults arrive in June. After three weeks inside, they live on pasture until Thanksgiving. They are fed grain from farms transitioning to organic (chemical-free, but uncertified) and receive no hormones or antibiotics. Whole, fresh (not frozen) turkeys are available for pick-up the week of Thanksgiving.
Turkeys can be reserved with a $25.00 deposit starting October 1, 2009. Please call if you would like to have your name and email added to our contact list.
Grass-fed Beef
Our beef cattle are 100% grass-fed and pasture-raised. In the winter they are fed organically grown hay from Gale Woods. We raise Galloway Beef Cattle, a breed selected for their ability to thrive on pasture and the superior taste of the meat. Since this beef is extremely lean, it is important that it is cooked slowly using a lower temperature.
Two--year old steers are processed 2-3 times per year into a variety of cuts including steaks, roasts, short-ribs, ground beef and beef patties. The beef is frozen and sold on a first-come, first serve basis while supplies last. Interested individuals will be contacted when the beef is processed. Please call if you would like to have your name and email added to our contact list.
Lamb
Our sheep are raised on pasture during the spring, summer and fall months. They are fed conventional grain from other farms and organically grown hay from Gale Woods. Eight-month old lambs are processed in late fall into a variety of cuts including chops, ground, leg and roast.
The lamb is frozen and sold on a first-come, first serve basis while supplies last. We also produce nitrate-free pork/lamb sausage and bratwurst. Interested individuals will be contacted when the lamb is processed. Please call if you would like to have your name and email added to our contact list.
Pork
Our pigs are raised on pasture from late spring through mid-fall. They receive some of their nutrition by grazing on cover crops planted in our gardens during non-vegetable production years. They are also fed conventional grain and discarded garden and grocery produce.
The pork is frozen and sold on a first-come, first serve basis while supplies last. Interested individuals will be contacted when the pork is processed is late fall. Please call if you would like to have your name and email added to our contact list.

We have four bountiful acres of organically-managed gardens that provide a great diversity of produce. From common vegetables such as carrots, tomatoes and lettuce to more unique crops like celeriac, fennel and popcorn.
