Duluth, MN
“Our farm was started in 2018 soon after we purchased land above Observation Hill in Duluth. It is a small operation run by our family, Ben, Sara, and our children Vi(8), Stan(6), Stu(4) and Elodie(2). The mission of our farm is to be a local source of wholesome food as our production practices are guided by principals of sustainability, organic techniques, land stewardship, and the ecological relationships we depend on for successful long-term agriculture.”
– Ben and Sara Cogger, owners
The Project
Grant funds went towards the construction of a 12 ft. x 16 ft. underground root cellar to facilitate long-term storage of fruits and vegetables, allowing the farm to expand fruit and vegetable production.
Environmental Impact
A root cellar is an environmentally sound storage method that uses the surrounding earth for humidity and temperature control.
