Big River Farms offers education in organic agriculture for farmers who have historically been underrepresented in farm ownership—including immigrants, people of color, and refugees. We provide beginning farmers in the program mentorship and guidance in managing their own 1/8 to 6-acre plots of certified organic land at Big River Farms, our 150-acre incubator farm near Marine on St. Croix, MN.
Meet the Farmers
Big River Farms farmers come from highly diverse backgrounds. On any given day, you’ll meet farmers from 10 different countries while walking through our fields.
