Blackberry Community Farm is located 80 miles east of the Twin Cities in Otter Creek Township, Dunn County, Wisconsin. Our family/community farm is a 30-acre homestead surrounded by woods. It consists of a mixed orchard; flower, herb and vegetable gardens; honeybee yard; berry patches; beautiful rolling hills; and woods with abundant wildlife. This year will be our 21st season doing farming and the 16th season as a CSA farm.
A share (5/9 bushel box — avg. 16 pounds) of seasonal, sustainable grown produce is delivered for 18 weeks (mid-June through mid-October). We will deliver more than 40 kinds of vegetables, fruits and herbs. The focus will be on the basics, but members will also receive strawberries, raspberries, apples, and two Jacob’s Lip & Body Balms. Free pick-your-own flowers and wild blackberries will be available.
