Treasured Haven Farm's
| Community Supported Agriculture |
Hello from Treasured Haven Farm!
Thanks for stopping by to visit! Treasured Haven Farm is home to the Johnsons... Pete,
Peg, our two sons, Zach and Ike, our three daughters and their families when they come
home to visit, our dog Boomer, a few barn cats, some cows, sheep, a whole lot of goats,
chickens, and, of course, all our Friends!
At Treasured Haven Farm, we believe in farming in an environmentally responsible
manner. All our crops are Naturally Grown, whether it is the hay in the fields or the fresh
veggies in the garden. We use no chemicals, pesticides, commercial petroleum based
fertilizers, or preservatives on any of our crops and follow the most natural farming
practices. Our garden areas are in the center of our 400 acre farm and so we control our
own buffer zone to protect your veggies and make them safe from any potential
contamination from any neighboring properties. We have no hesitation to reach down
and grab a handful of lettuce, some spinach, a carrot, radishes, or fresh green onions
and eat a salad on the go while on the walks through the gardens.
With our CSA, you can join a farm that is actually close enough to visit as we are less
than an hour north of the Twin Cities Metro. We are located in East Central Minnesota
near Rush City, within five miles of I-35 between both the Rush City and Rock Creek
(Hwy. 70) exits. The beautiful St. Croix Scenic Riverway is just a couple miles away with
its wonderful trails and boat landings in Northern Chisago County. Visiting our farm can
be combined with a whole days adventures and activities in the area. Our farm has it's
own wooded and fields trails for hiking, horseback riding, or cross country skiing in the
winter for our Members. In 2010, we hosted our first Trail and Veggie Run, and had one
Race Day, we plan to increase our offerings to three seasonal races each year, spring,
summer, and fall which are open to our CSA members and the public. More info about
farm offerings is found on our FAQ page. Please call ahead to schedule your visit.
Thanks!
others so they can experience the true nature of farming. We love the ability of
connecting with the people who put our food on their table so they can "Buy Local" and
know they can trust their food source. Most of the food consumers purchase can travel
over 1500 miles until it gets to our tables. We are within 60 miles of downtown
Minneapolis and St. Paul so your produce is freshly picked and delivered the same day.
When you Pick-Up on the farm we offer exchanges and extras so you can get exactly
what produce you love.
We offer the opportunity to our members to join us in the farm gardens with cultivating,
harvesting, or packing, and we offer our Treasured Haven Farm's Community Supported
Agriculture Supporting Community Program providing school, youth, and non-profit
groups with fundraising opportunities.
As the generations of our society become further removed from the farming lifestyle, it is
important to share with our young children and let them experience that our food does
not just miraculously appear in the grocery stores. A CSA is not just an avenue to
purchase food, but a way to connect with lost heritage. It is important to realize this
distinction... we grow your veggies in the rich soil of our fields, we do not simply order it
up from some unknown place and have it in a back room.
At Treasured Haven Farm, we seek to provide a total experience for our members by
utilizing all our diverse operations in providing quality products and the sharing of
knowledge. Our farm is unique as we offer other products from the farm in addition to the
garden produce, such as natural wood engravings and homesawn wood products, the
opportunity to see lumber and wood projects created from the logs, and to experience a
genuine rural setting for hikes and picnics and overnight stays, and in the future, use of
the log home for your events or parties.
We also raise Naturally Grown Hay, Pastured Chicken and Eggs, Turkeys, and Pigs, and
Grass-Fed Goats and Beef, and create Custom Engraving. Check the rest of our
website for details.
If you have any questions, we look forward to chatting with you! Hopefully you can join
our "farm community" and experience Treasured Haven Farm first hand!
Have a Wonderfully Blessed Day!
Thanks!
The Johnsons

Why Is Community Supported Agriculture Important?
* CSA's direct marketing gives farmers and growers the fairest return on their products
while providing consumers with a reliable source of naturally and locally grown foods.
* CSA keeps food dollars in the local community and contributes to the maintenance
and establishment of regional food production. You help support those farming
operations who pay taxes locally.
* CSA encourages communication, cooperation, and education among farmers, and
between farmers and consumers.
* With a "guaranteed market" for their produce, farmers can invest their time in doing the
best job they can growing their crops rather than marketing during the production
season.
* CSA supports the biodiversity of a given area and the diversity of agriculture through
the preservation of small farms producing a wide variety of crops.
* CSA creates a sense of social responsibility and stewardship of local land.
* CSA puts "the farmers face on food" and increases understanding of how, where, and
by whom our food is grown.
