This week’s farm is Seelye Brook Farms located in Oak Grove, Minnesota which is about 45 minutes north of the Twin Cities. Randy and Karen Kleinman have been farming here since the fall of 2016. I had the privilege of visiting their farm where the whole family was involved in the tour!
The Kleinman’s have a goal to regenerate the land through a properly designed ecological system which includes no-till, deep mulch planting, and intensive rotational grazing of livestock for soil health.
What does Seelye Brook Farms offer?
Eggs:
Their laying hens are free range, cage free, all natural pasture (when available), and non GMO feed. They have an assortment of laying hen breeds so you may have a variety of colored eggs which always fun!
Chicken:
The free range broiler chickens are non GMO, no corn, and no soy transition organic fed. These chickens are available July and October.
Turkey:
They will have a limited number of free-range heritage breed turkeys that will be available in November. You must pre-order these.
Lamb:
100% grass-fed lamb, never grained.
You can check out their website to view these items along with other available products.
What I really liked about the Kleinman’s farm is the commitment to sharing the farm experience with others. They desire their farm to serve as an educational resource to others.
Their farm motto is:
“We seek to restore a small part of the Earth for the benefit of reconnecting families like ours with it and its Creator. We seek this reconnection for the wellness of the people and the natural world they are surrounded by. We seek these ends for both our benefit and that of others, forever.”
Research Grant
The farm has been selected by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture for a Sustainable Agriculture Demonstration Grant. The farm will be comparing the nutritional value of the broiler chickens that have been pastured using two different setups. You can check out this post for all the details. This is a great opportunity to fulfill their mission of the farm being an educational resource.
This family is so friendly and open to sharing their farm experience! Check out their website which features blog posts, video blogs, products offered, and much more. If you are looking to purchase pasture-raised eggs, chicken, turkey, or lamb, this is great farm to consider.
If you would like to visit the farm, they will be open for tours on July 6th and July 7th. Contact Randy or Karen if you would be interested in a tour.
Choosing local, sustainable foods not only invests in your own health, but also the health of our communities!
