Heidi's parents are bee keepers in Woodbury, MN. They sell two kinds of honey: Creamed and Raw. Both are absolutely delicious!
Creamed honey is a decadent, spreadable honey that has a very finely crystallized texture. Raw honey has been allowed to crystallize spontaneously. Each year the texture will be different as it depends on a number of factors that change every year.
Jim and Ellen are passionate about regenerative agriculture and helping people experience food and farming in new ways.
They sell pasture-raised eggs, chickens, and turkeys. With frequent deliveries to the twin cities and various SE MN locations, the Gardners make accessing delicious, well-raised poultry products easy!
At Luna Valley Farm, Tom and Maren get a little excited about good food. They love sharing our food and farm with the community on pizza nights when they cook up some of the tastiest wood fired pizzas around, using ingredients that they’ve grown in their beautiful valley and source from other small farms.
In addition to delicious pizza, Tom and Maren raise wonderful 100% grass-fed beef. They sell individual cuts and beef shares.
At Capra Nera Creamery, Katie Bonow's cheeses are made from a single source of milk: the 30ish goats that comprise the milking herd at the farm in rural SE Minnesota.
The ladies - all of whom have names, such as Eleanor Roosevelt or Button - are fed a small amount of grain at milking time, but enjoy the lush green of pasture plants for much of their production season. Cheese is made frequently, with ultra fresh milk, in small, hand-crafted batches.
