Michael is retired Air Force and I taught 1st and 2nd grade for over 20 years. After retiring from the military we purchased the farm I was born and raised on in northern Minnesota with the hopes of finding a simpler lifestyle. With a great deal of faith and prayer we began working the land and found our passion. Our gardens grew, our fruit trees grew, our passion grew. All were happy, healthy and wholesome.

We started out with simple vegetables grown for our local farmer's market and that expanded into homemade jams and jellies, artisan coarse ground mustard, herbal products and crafts. As we worked the farm in the summer heat and brutal winters, we soon found a need for quality skin care products and created our lotions and lotion bars. We found out that our neighbors were looking for good, fresh products - made without chemicals and pesticides. As we met the needs of those around us with honesty and fairness, we found our product was in great demand.

We are personally involved in every step of our jelly and herb production. We till the soil, plant the crops, weed our gardens, and harvest our bounty. Our goal is always to provide a product that we would proudly serve on our table, to our friends and family.

All our fruits and berries are grown without chemicals or pesticides and are picked at the peak of ripeness so the flavor is at it's best. My jams and jellies are made with only a few key ingredients so you won't have any problems trying to figure out what you are eating. They are gluten free and contain no artificial chemicals and preservatives; but only loads of sun ripened fruit, sugar and gluten free apple pectin.

Our herbs are also grown using natural, holistic practices. When we do have to purchase herb ingredients we work with companies that have the same standards as we do ourselves. We pick our herbs when the flavor is at it's most intense and use them to make delicious herbal dips and seasonings and (my personal favorite) herbal teas.

We are in compliance with state and federal laws when it comes to our jelly, mustard and herb product production. We have been certified and licensed by the state of Minnesota and we do our best to follow all safety procedures. If you have food allergies or are sensitive to certain fruits and berries, please contact us for further clarification before ordering.
