Minnesota Farm

Desiree and Ryan Nelson are the stewards of Nelson Grass Farm in Ogilvie, MN. They raise broiler chickens, pigs, and laying hens in a rotational grazing system. This creates a food web that benefits the soil, the animals, and the people who interact with it.

Weekends are a lively scene at Applewood Orchard. The air is ripe with the scent of fresh apple donuts made on site along with pies, mini-apple breads, and fritters prepared by Sweet Kneads in Farmington.
