ings such as: rhubarb, radishes, scallions, greens, spinach.

woodlands: asparagus, ramps (wild leeks), wild garlic,

watercress, mint, etc. Also included will be a few surprise

One of the rarest, most sought-after, and most delectable

food treasures anywhere! These early spring delicacies can

be elusive. In five of the last six years, all CSA mushroom

orders have been fulfilled. But since nature doesn’t always

provide ample quantities, morel orders must be paid for

with a separate check. Checks will not be cashed unless

the mushrooms are delivered! (1st come, 1st served)

Maple Syrup $9 per pint $16 per quart Delivered in May and November

The farm community’s woodlands are full of maple trees.

No pesticides or chemicals are used on the trees, nor is the

forest exposed to runoff. Every step of the processing is

done by hand; sap is boiled over a wood-fired evaporator,

creating a deeply flavorful syrup.

A variety of organic seedlings and plants including vege-

tables, herbs, and edible flowers for members who are

Twin Lakes CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)

A direct relationship between farmers & consumers

A CSA is based on the simple principle of connect-

ing people to their local food source. As a member,

you enter into a partnership dedicated to bringing

fresh, organically raised produce directly from our

fields to your table.

Twin Lakes CSA farms are a group of small family

farms located within a quiet Amish community

near Mora, MN; an area of rolling pastures, organic

fields and small lakes.

Making a living on the land, farming in harmony

with nature, and working together daily as a family

are all values we cherish. We consider it a privilege

to work collectively as farmers for the common

good, and as stewards of the land that we intend to

pass along to our children.

Our organic & heritage farming practices are pure,

simple, low waste, and low energy. We farm by

hand and horse power, heirloom seed-save, gently

and faithfully care for our land and animals. No

GMO’s, chemicals, pesticides, hormones, no pollu-

tion; rarely even the sound of a motor!

Pure farming = pure food!

Most of all, in the true CSA spirit, we want you to

feel connected. To the safe, pure food you eat.

To the rich, local soil where it was grown. To the

family farm way of life. And to us.
