Growing farmers. Growing food.
Big River Farms is a program of MN Food Association (501c3 non-profit org.) based at Wilder Forest in the St.Croix River Valley.  We train immigrants and other aspiring farmers in Certified Organic production and assist them in developing their own local markets.  

As a part of the training program, we operate a CSA and pool together produce grown by Big River Farms and participants in our training program. We strive to provide the farmers in our training program with a valuable learning experience while providing our community of committed CSA members high quality, local, Organic produce.

How It Works
In exchange for your preseason support, you get a box of vegetables each week throughout the season. Veggies vary with the rhythms of the growing season:  You might see snap peas, broccoli, scallions & greens (among others) in early boxes while the summer heat will bring on tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, potatoes, summer squash & more. As we head into fall, look for different varieties of winter squash, root crops & greens.

We plan for a diverse variety of the staple vegetables you know and love, with some ethnic specialties from farmers in our training program. By planning for diversity we are able to commit to providing an abundance of vegetables and a share worthy of your support. 

We'll share in the bounty and share in the venture.
