Whitewater Gardens Farm is a small, diversified farm on the edge of the Whitewater Wildlife Area in Southeast Minnesota. Our mission is to create a sustainable farm that not only grows healthy, nutritious food, but also enhances the environment and contributes to a strong local community. We encourage our members to connect to the farm by coming for a farm tour or even help in the gardens. Our livestock and produce are grown using soil building and organic farming practices and are sold within 100 miles of the farm to retailers, wholesalers, CSA member families, and Farmer markets. Our produce is also distributed to economically disadvantaged families through donations to local food shelves, resource centers, and shelters.

Our CSA program still has limited space for the 2012 season, thanks for the support. We will have pickups at the Saturday Farmer's markets in Winona and Rochester. You may also pick up your shares at the farm Wednesday evenings from 4-6. We sell at the Rochester and Winona Farmer markets on Saturday mornings starting May 5. We will have bedding plants for sale in May as well as fresh greens and other early treats. Both Rochester and Winona now have winter markets, more info on websites
