Kalisch Family Farms has a loyal customer in me, now!! They are a local farmer that does everything…read morenaturally and organically. The best part is that they deliver to the metro area every week. That is so cool. I hate grocery shopping and get so disgusted with the poor quality of meats, filled with antibiotics and hormones. Same with milk. Now I get raw milk and grass fed beef. Not only does it taste much better, it is actually cheaper than the organic meats at Cub Foods. I tell all my friends about them because I am ecstatic that I now have a source for raw milk. We are lucky in Minnesota that we are able to get access to it. I give it to my dogs, too, and they juts go bonkers over it. My recommendation: try a gallon of raw milk, and get either ribeye or t-bone steak for your first order (and ground beef if you want). Cook up the steak and just take a bite without any steak sauce at first... just taste the pure meat... YUM!!! And with the milk, shake the bottle first (the cream settles at the top). Then, when you are done shaking it, drink a glass of cool REAL milk from a certified organic dairy farm. You won't ever want to go back to store bought milk!!!

We feel like we stumbled into a truly hidden gem! There is nothing fancy in this place. Even the bathroom seems a little rugged but is clean. Go hungry - leave satisfied!

**July 2025: Sunday Morning Visit**…read more This is such a great Farmer Market and I'm so glad that I visited. On our last day in Minneapolis I happen to notice that we'd be able to attend this Sunday event. Farmers Markets in California all range in size so I didn't really know what to expect for this one - holy cow! It was huge and lots of different local things. They had Minnesota grown produce, handmade products, fresh flowers, baked good and so much more. I was introduced to Ty's Gingseng (https://www.tysginseng.com/) who grows and sells 6 year old ginseng powder - which is very high quality. I also bought relish from Red Ron's as well as some sausage links from another vendor. To be honest I probably could have spent at least 1.5 hours here if I wanted to really study all the booths and check everything out, but we had brunch plans and needed to depart within 45 mins. I would love to come back to support small! FYI: There's metered parking

They are growing with organic practices and are being certified currently. We were a part of the 2009 season which was their first as a CSA, and we were very impressed. The variety of produce we received was beyond our expectation. We got to try a lot of things we hadn't tried and some things we hadn't ever heard of before! Very educational. For their first year operating as a CSA, they really ran everything smoothly. The 2010 season and beyond is looking really exciting too with a lot of upgrades to information available on the website about the produce, etc., and even more variety in the produce from what I hear. From the comparisons we did, the pricing is a much better deal for what you get than with some other local CSA programs. We very highly recommend The Farm of Minnesota.
