Two Harbors, MN
“My goal is to bring naturally-grown foods using biodynamic methods (synthetic chemical free, permanent mulch methods) to communities on the North Shore. I currently produce blueberries and strawberries (with smaller plantings of gooseberries, raspberries, jostaberries, and currants) that I sell at farmers markets (Two Harbors, Central Hillside), at an on-farm market stand, and through you-pick with an assortment of fresh produce.”
– Justin Osadjan, owner
The Project
Lucky Dog used grant funds to purchase a used compact tractor with a front-loader to spread mulch. This equipment allows Lucky Dog Farm to use wood chip mulch, which will last longer than grass clippings and hay and expand plantings.
Environmental Impact
Using a low-till, permanent mulch system protects soils from erosion and keeps silt from entering nearby waterways
