Growing Our Futures Youth Program & CSA

  • Fresh, Local Produce for Your Family

    Enjoy the bounty of the season! Our produce includes culturally-specific vegetables and herbs. In partnership with our farming farmilies, the youth will grow such delicious produce as cilantro, thyme, mint, rhubarb, blueberries, peppers, eggplant, kale, and so much more. Some items will also be offered freeze-dried. You meet us at our farmers market in Saint Paul-Lowertown, West Saint Paul, or Minneapolis-Lyndale on Saturdays. We are here to help your family eat and be healthy physically, mentally, and spiritually.

  • A Collective of Farms

    Our urban, peri-urban, and rural farms are located across the Twin Cities metropolitan region in Afton, Hastings, Hopkins, Isanti, and Saint Paul. Our farms are lovingly stewarded by our families. We’ve built up the soil to be fertile and healthy without synthetic fertilizers or herbicides. Our methods encompass traditional Hmong practices as well as innovative agricultural methods.

  • Community Solidarity

    Our farm is commited to racial justice, land reparations, and food sovereignty. This is why every year, we will perform ceremony, gift out thousands of pounds of produce to BIPOC communities, and continue to advocate and organize for systemic changes that centers BIPOC farmers. We also offer sliding scale for BIPOC community members, elders, and essential and frontlne workers.
