Description

We have pick up sites in St. Paul, Minnetonka, Minneapolis, St. Cloud, Alexandria, and Fergus Falls areas. Our boxes of vegetables include many of the basics(i.e. carrots, peas, tomatoes, etc.) in addition to many heirloom and other unique vegetable varieties.

Ploughshare Farm is a certified organic farm located 18 miles north of Alexandria. We grow a wide variety of organic vegetables and some fruits on 160 acres of fertile soil bordering the Chippewa River. Our produce is considered to be one of the highest quality in the state. In fact, our farm was voted 2009 Farm of the year by Edible Twin Cities.

Weekly deliveries to our CSA include an array of garden staples, gourmet and specialty crops. As a family of 6 ourselves (4 young boys under the age of 13yearsold) we keep in mind what families want to eat. In order to assist families with the basics of eating "in-season" vegetables we offer weekly newsletters, telling about the goings-on at the farm and including recipes.
