TC Growers Spotlight: Holistic Health Farms

Join the Twin Cities Metro Growers Network for their first IN-PERSON event of 2021! All are welcome to tour Holistic Health Farm in Saint Paul (Midway), where hosts Cherry Flowers and Tim Page will talk about creative crop cultivation in small spaces.

Tim and Cherry have tried almost everything related to Urban Agriculture –a little permaculture here, a little hydroponics there, a high tunnel, Hugelkulture, a super-efficient herb spiral! They have explored value added products, companion planting, raised beds, alternative lawn, and pollinator and wildlife friendly plantings. Usual crops include ginger, turmeric and sugar cane. Projects in varying degrees of completion fill this small-scale hybrid market farm/home garden on a double lot in St Paul. Julia Brokaw, PhD Candidate, U of MM Bee Lab, will be on hand to provide information about a recent native prairie installation at the site.

*SFA's COVID-19 Preparedness Plan will be implemented at this event. Registration strongly encouraged. Walk ups welcome.

Address: 1243 Hewitt Avenue St. Paul, MN 55104

Note: there will not be a bathroom facility available at the farm.

The Twin Cites Metro Growers Network is a collaboration between SFA and the University of Minnesota Extension.
