Big Woods Farm

Big Woods Farm is entering its 17th season of providing freshly-picked, organic produce to our CSA members in the Twin Cities and in Rice County, Minn. Our 79-acre farm is located one hour south of Minneapolis, near the maple-basswood forest of Big Woods State Park and the farm fields of Nerstrand, MN.

As organic farmers, we grow our produce under the premise that we feed the soil, and the soil feed the plants. A healthy soil grows healthy food and sustains a myriad of life. We use no herbicides, synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, nor genetically-modified organisms.

Three festivals are held each year -Planting Day in May, the Mid-Summer Festival in August and the Fall Harvest in September (your 18th basket of the season is taken home from the Fall Harvest Festival). We hope members will visit the farm to work or have fun at least once during the season.
