Waxwing Farm is located just 40 minutes south of the Twin Cities. We try to raise our vegetables and animals in the most sustainable way we can. Though we are not certified, we follow organic practices in our farming. We aim to manage our land in a way that promotes long-term health and diversity. Vegetables are our focus, but there is so much more to our farm. Pigs and chickens are a part of our fertility plan but also provide meat and eggs. Bees pollinate our crops but also provide honey.

We are a small family farm and we believe that happier animals are better for you. We do our best to keep our animals content and happy. That means no hormones, naturally raised, and outside like they were meant to be. Right now we have laying hens and hogs. We are looking forward to getting dairy goats and learning how to milk them. In the near future we will be raising another flock of cornish cross (meat) chickens.
