North East Farm Buds Hub
North Eastern Minnesota is leading the way in sustainable agriculture right now. With every other region experiencing decline in small farming operations, the northeast is experiencing a rise.
To support this rise and to support the incredible community of farmers that are growing their operations we have assigned a specific regional hub director to spearhead Farm Buds trips and projects in this area.
We are hoping to scale this role to other regions around Minnesota so every small farmer in the state has ongoing community support within its region. Want to support this program’s growth?
The North East Region is Growing Fast.

Upcoming Trips
Prepping for Tree Planting at Fair Haven Farm
Saturday, September 19th starting at 9:15am
We will be helping them plant fruit trees to expand their orchard.
Fairhaven Farm sells starter plants in the beginning of the season and grows other produce to sell to community markets. They have been incorporating some innovative technology that includes compost tea distribution through drip tape and also are growing mushrooms in collaboration with other farms. John & Emily also offer Friday pizza dinners until the end of August and an 8 month immersion course designed to help you tune into nature's cycles while learning relevant skills that will help you deepening your connection to the land and community.
