At the Farm is a blossoming organic venture nestled in a nostalgic farm setting at the heart of Carver County.

Waconia is just southwest of the Minneapolis / St. Paul metro area.

Farm Fresh Brown Eggs available now and all through the  winter on the porch At the Farm

Farmers Market is open every day, April through October.  See you again in 2010!

Shop all summer long in the cool bank barn for farm fresh produce!

The barn is handicap accessible and the parking area is large enough to accommodate coach bus tours!

Tour guides, please call ahead so we can prepare for your tour!

I'll be open in April 2010 with Bulk Vegetable
Garden Seeds and bedding plants later in the spring.

Seeds sold in bulk? That means you can buy as much or as little you need for your size vegetable  garden!

Gardening  advice is available too!

My organic Popcorn will be available by the bag all summer in the barn!

Pure Natural Honey from bees that are here on my farm each summer, made by Scott's Bees & Honey!

Maple Syrup made by East Bay Sugarbush of Waconia!

My inventory of antique and collectible treasures come mostly from Carver County.  The high quality reflects the fine character of the people who settled and developed this charming Minnesota community.

I have been collecting for over 40 years.

 

I send a weekly email newsletter during the summer to keep you up to date on what produce is available and what is going on At the Farm in general.  Each  newsletter also features a different topic - gardening tips, recipes, cooking ideas, canning hints, upcoming events, etc.

Click here and you can send me your email address to receive my weekly newsletters.

Pride and Glory Garden Project!

Unemployed? If you come to my farm in the spring, I will give you seeds and gardening advice to grow vegetables.  If you are a beginning gardener, what you need is an old gardener, like me, to get you started so you can become an excellent gardener. If you already know how to grow, you still need me for the best varieties to grow in this area!

Thinking ahead for spring?  Let me tell you what you can do now to improve your garden for next spring and summer!

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
