🥒 Pickling cucumber season is here, and we’re taking orders!

Whether you like your pickles tiny and crisp or big and chunky, we’ve got four sizes available by the bushel or half bushel:

✨ Small: 2–3”
✨ Medium: 3–4”
✨ B & B: 4–5”
✨ Chunk: 5”+

Our small cucumbers are especially limited each week, and a wait list may be required depending on demand. Preordering is highly recommended because they sell out fast!

Orders will be fulfilled in the order they are received, with priority given to preorders. 🌱

🧺 Market-day pickup can be arranged

🌞 A quick market update for today!

Due to the extreme heat and poor air quality, the Elk River Farmers Market has been canceled today (Thursday, July 16). We completely support the decision to keep everyone safe.

🥕 CSA Market Pickup Members: Don’t worry! Your pickup has simply moved to the farm.

The good news? We harvested fresh this morning just as we always do for market. That means our farm stand is full of beautiful, seasonal Minnesota-grown produce that we’d love to share with our community.

If you were planning to visit the market today, we’d love to see you at the farm instead! Come stock up on fresh vegetables, support local agriculture, and help us make sure this week’s harvest finds a good home. 💚🌽🍅🥬

Stay cool, stay safe, and we’ll see you at the farm!

🌱 The 2026 CSA season is officially underway! 🚜

A few weeks ago, we were out in the fields planting the first crops of the season, and now the farm is buzzing with activity every day.

With CSA registration now closed, we’re shifting gears into planning mode:
📦 Finalizing member details
🚚 Mapping delivery routes
🥕 Coordinating harvest schedules
🌻 Growing a whole lot of food

Before long, these freshly planted fields will be overflowing with the vegetables that will fill your weekly shares.

To all of our 2026 members: thank you for supporting local agriculture and trusting us to grow your food. We can’t wait to share the season with you!

Keep an eye on your inbox. More details about pickups, deliveries, and season logistics will be coming soon.
