Northern Harvest Farm

A Vegetable Share from Northern Harvest Farm is a weekly box of in-season produce from mid-June to mid-October. A total of 18 boxes. We estimate that a share is enought to provide vegetables for a family of four for the week. We also have a Flower Share which is a weekly bouquet of flowers mid-July to early-September. Flowers can also be ordered by the bouquet or the bucket. Pick-up sites are located throughout Duluth, Cloquet, and at the farm.

Hello there. If you are interested in membership, please send us an email with your home address so we can add you to the waiting list. We mail out registeration forms to the waiting list to purchase a vegetable share in March before the growing season. Current CSA members get first chance to re-subscribe. The remaining shares are available to families on the list on a first-come first-serve basis. Feel free to email or call with any questions. Thank you for your interest.

The first season of Northern Harvest Farm began in the summer of 2005. It started out with 30 members and the vegetables were grown on 1.5 acres of rented land from John and Jane Fisher-Merritt in Wrenshall, MN. The Fisher-Merritts own and run Food Farm CSA. We not only rented land but also were able to participate in an internship/mentorship with the entire Food Farm crew. We learned a tremendous amount of hands on and experiential knowledge during our first season. We continued this relationship for the second season.

During our second season we were lucky enough to find a 33-acre farm in Wrenshall with good soil, a cute little house, and a nice barn. We have had our share of challenges turning over sod to create new vegetables fields, but with hard work and the help of friends and family, our third season on the new farm was a success in 2007.

We feel more comfortable at home than we ever have in the past several years. The work will always be hard, but the rewards are great. We are honored to take the responsibility to take care of this little chunk of land and use it for the good of the community.
