We want to thank you all for your interest in our farm fresh eggs. While we are happy to provide them at a reasonably low purchase price (now $5 per dozen), they are only available here on the farm, during our hours of operation (Friday Noon – 8pm, Saturday Noon – 8pm, Sunday Noon – 6pm) on a first-come-first-serve basis.

We appreciate your enthusiasm and support, however, we kindly request that you do not contact us to find out if eggs are available. Please understand that we have been flooded with phone calls, emails, facebook posts, and messages asking us if eggs are available, and we are just not able to return your phone calls, messages, emails, etc. Please also know that your posts on our facebook page asking this question will be deleted.

Eggs are available to our customers here at the farm on a first-come-first-serve basis during the hours we are open and while supplies last. We appreciate you, and we appreciate your understanding!

Words cannot describe just how grateful we are for your love, kindness, patronage, and ongoing support of our farm. 2024 was a year of blessings and we owe it all to you. THANK YOU for everything. We are now closed for the rest of the year, taking some time off to spend with our family. We will re-open on Saturday January 18th 2025 and we look forward to seeing you then!

Much love and Holiday blessings to you and your loved ones.

Jim & Debbie

Treat your loved ones with the gift of organic maple syrup, organic bourbon maple syrup or a gift certificate to visit the cider barn..

There is nothing more aromatic, tender, and delicious than freshly harvested, Minnesota grown, organic ginger. In the store you will usually find only the root, but the stalks and leaves are equally delicious.

First, don’t throw out the stalks and leaves as they are also edible. At minimum you can make some incredible ginger tea, but also use them sliced up and added to stir frys or used to infuse flavor into baked goods. The easist thing to do is to ask Chef Google “how to use ginger stalks and leaves” and you’ll find quite a nice list of fun ways to prepare it.

For the root, be sure to clean it well as the crevices to get full of dirt. Once cleaned, of course the root can be used in any way you like to use ginger. But if it is more than you can use up in about a week, you can just slice it up and freeze it into portions that work for you.

Thank you for supporting our farm and we hope that you will enjoy your ginger!

We are celebrating the GINGER harvest! On Saturday October 5th and Sunday October 6th join us for Ginger Fest. We’re celebrating the ginger harvest, a crop that is not usually grown here in Minnesota. Pick up some freshly harvested organic ginger, ginger syrup, ginger tea, ginger cider, ginger ale, PLUS ginger gelato and candied ginger made by Rustic Island Farm. Meet the adorable alpacas and shop for alpaca wear as the weather begins to chill. On Saturday Thai Thai Street Food will be serving up his delicious Thai food and will include our fresh ginger in his creations. At 6pm Bluegrass Jam takes the stage. On Sunday 10/6 feast on the Extraordinary Wood-fired Pizza by El Hornito Wood Fired Pizza and walk the Sugar Maple Trail of Colors. Always fun for the whole family including the dog!

September CSA harvest includes: leeks, grapes, apples, cucumbers, heirloom tomatoes, sage, hearty greens (collards, kale, chard), one dozen eggs and three four packs of beverages.

There is no such thing as toon many Minnesota apples. We will happily take your unwanted apples and magically convert them into our award-winning cider! Sorry, we do not have the staff available to come and pick them. We do have a big bin to drop them off, and we greatly appreciate them!
