Our mission at Feed-Me Farms is simple: eliminate chemical fertilizers and pesticides, use unused yard space in a sustainable way, and provide access to fresh produce to the community. We borrow lawns from different local homeowners and institutions, forming a system of suburban farm plots to grow organic vegetables. A portion of all our produce goes to local food shelters, while the rest goes to our CSA customers and to farmers markets.
Jake Jarecki is the owner, farmer, and chef of Feed-Me Farms. A graduate of Hopkins High School (2008), Jake spent 10 years in Seattle and Portland, but an interest in organic agriculture led Jake to a year-long stint on a farm in Wisconsin, and after becoming hooked, Jake decided to break ground and start Feed-Me Farms in his hometown in Hopkins, MN in 2020.
Feed-Me Farms is named in tribute to the memory of a great man and great friend, Andrew Jaffee. Andrew was an adventurous and loving person, with a bit of an appetite, who earned the nickname Feed-Me back in 2nd grade gym class at Alice Smith Elementary in Hopkins. In 2018 Andrew passed at the age of 28 from cancer, and a community of family and friends around the world continue to miss him dearly. May we all eat well and be merry in his honor!
