Earth Dance Farm is an 80 acre parcel in the rolling hills of S. E. Minnesota's Bluff Country. We have 25 acres of tillable land, 20 acres of pasture/place and 35 of hardwoods with Bear Creek running through. Purchased in Dec. of 2005, this culminated a nearly two decade journey back to the land. With our house in St. Paul and two children in the schools there, we spent most of 2006 moving down to Spring Valley. We were able to plant our raspberries, strawberries and apple trees, establish some bee colonies and transition our horses. We grew over 25 vegetables and began our CSA with 6 families in St. Paul. No pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizers are used in the production of our produce.

This 2009 season we have a little over 100 memberships in the Twin Cities and Rochester areas. We are growing more than 40 different chemical free vegetables and herbs as well as the berries, apples and plums. Our pastured, organically fed Rhode Island Red chickens market their wares for an optional fare. Our season runs from mid June through October with deliveries on Thursday around midday. We encourage members to visit the farm: work in the fields, walk the woods, or relax by the stream. We will gather in the summer and again in the late fall to celebrate the harvest, our lives and our relationships.
