| Welcome to the Straight River Farm web site |
| -- Farm to table produce -- Faribault, Minnesota |
Welcome to Straight River Farm -- produce fresh from the farm to
your table. We are located near Faribault, Minnesota, just south of
the Twin Cities of St. Paul & Minneapolis, in beautiful rural Rice
County.
Cantaloupe, tomatoes, and sweet corn are some of the crops we
grow and sell. Check the on-farm store page for more information
about availability.
We have 5 acres of apple trees with 10 varieties, and more varieties
on the way. The apples page has more information about each of
them. However, we do not offer pick-your-own apples. We will
sell apples from the farm in 2010, and the farmers' markets we'll be
at will be listed on the apple page from late August through
mid-November each year.
Our strawberries are available to pick your own or to buy picked from
June to early July. Check the picking update for more information
about picking strawberries, and the strawberries page for more
information about strawberries in general.
Our small summer raspberry patch usually opens for picking about
July 1--just as the strawberries are finishing. The raspberies page
gives updated picking information as it's available.
