Our Story
The Boreal Farm began in 2015 with a gingham-covered table and a coffee can at the farm’s entrance. But the land itself has a much longer story ~ farmed by five different families since 1912. As the fifth family to care for it, we’re honored to carry that legacy forward, bringing land that had gone fallow for several decades back into production and growing food that reflects the rhythms of the North.
In early 2017, organic certification marked a turning point ~ transforming Boreal from a humble roadside stand into a fully recognized farm with a mission. What began small had grown into a place rooted in care for the land, the seasons, and northern life.
From the start, we’ve believed farming is more than production ~ it’s stewardship. We’re caretakers of place, stewards of soil, and believers in the power of good food to shape culture.
Five families, one land — a century of farming carried forward.

Meet the Farmers
Behind The Boreal Farm is a small but mighty team: my family and me. We’re the ones in the field at sunrise, the hands on the harvest, the ones who chase chickens, pull weeds, and pause for every rainbow.
Farming is our way of life—and our way of giving back. Between walk-behind tractor repairs and carrot washing, we’re raising kids, planting seeds of curiosity, and finding laughter through the rough spots (mostly at ourselves).
It’s not always tidy, and it’s never boring. But this life—rooted in the rhythms of the North—feeds more than just our table. It’s where we’ve found purpose, patience, and the joy of watching something grow.
