Harvest Star Gardens is a small (3 member) family run business in southern MN. We are non-certified organic farmers that believe in raising heirlooms & non-GMO produce. We have had our soil tested every yr & believe that if our soil is healthy we have a more nutrient dense product. Our garden cover is a little more than an acre of our farm. We have been involved in the local Fairmont Farmers Mkt for 7yrs. We have sold wholesale to loca retailers like Hy-Vee, Fareway, Sterling Drug & a local restaurant, The Cup & Saucer. We have also sold wholesale to Minnesota Valley Action Council in Mankato. The last 3yrs we have also had several local CSA customers that we have delivered to wkly. This season, we also donated 2,300lbs of fresh produce to the Fairmont local food shelf.
