Becker

Since our founding in 2003, Thousand Hills has been focused on one Mission: To nourish the soil, the plants, cattle, and people by holistically grazing cattle for their lifetime. What began as a passion to simply share the nutritional benefits of Lifetime Grazed 100% Grass Fed Beef with more people has evolved into a full embrace of regenerative agriculture—with its many critical benefits to people and planet. After a 20-year career working in conventional food marketing, I returned to the farm

Minnetrista

An apple orchard on rolling land in Minnetrista, started by Lowell and Phyllis Schaper in the mid-1970s and grown to roughly 12 acres of trees on a 40-acre property.

The operation has since rebranded as Everly Farms, adding a restaurant and tasting room. Phone (763) 325-4024.

Rogers

Dream Acres is a self-serve, pick-your-own pumpkin patch on a family farm in Rogers, open every day in October during daylight hours. Pumpkins run $5 each, paid by cash, Venmo, or PayPal.

Clear Lake

Brothers Paul and Gary Gray started Grayson's Berryland in 1983, and it grows strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries across about 10 acres near Clear Lake.

The farm sits near the junction of Highway 24 and County Road 8. Call (320) 743-3384 for what's ripe.

Becker

Cut-your-own Christmas trees are the draw here, with short-needle spruce from four to twenty feet plus a smaller supply of white pine, balsam, and Fraser fir. The Petersons have farmed trees around Becker since 1956, and Lee later added an apple orchard, so fall brings U-pick apples before the December tree season. Trees grow naturally green. Bring a saw or borrow one at the lot off 149th Avenue.

The city itself organizes it — questions go through Otsego City Hall rather than a separate market board.

Minnetrista

Rogers

Rogers' market runs Tuesday afternoons, 3 to 6:30 p.m., from July into September, organized through the city rather than an independent nonprofit. It sets up in this fast-growing Hennepin County exurb northwest of the Twin Cities.

Elk River

Clear Lake

B&J Evergreen grows Christmas and landscape trees across a 200-acre spread in Clear Lake. In December you can cut your own or grab a pre-cut tree, plus wreaths and holiday greenery. The rest of the year the farm sells landscape-sized evergreens and shade trees. A working tree farm rather than a one-weekend lot.
