“Our goal is to provide local, organically grown produce to people in the Northland community. This gives us the opportunity to do meaningful work and to contribute to a more sustainable and healthy food system.”
– Rick Dalen, owner
The Project
Grow Local Food Fund grant funds were used to purchase soil-building amendments that will address soil deficiencies in new land, which will more than triple the amount of ground available for vegetable production. “In 2020, we gained access to an additional 20 acres of good land. It will allow us to have a more extensive crop rotation, which will have a greater emphasis on cover crops for both soil health and weed management. Soil fertility is at the heart of everything we do. If we don’t have healthy, vibrant soil, we’ve got nothing.”
