About the (awesome) tiny icons used in the menu bars:

Seasonal

Our most popular package!

TC Farm's seasonal produce is 100% organic and focuses on "normal" food while maximizing local when in season.

The package is 100% local in the peak of summer, but members still enjoy organic citrus mixed in with local winter crops.

The focus is to eat produce at the peak of its season.

The target size of each box is 1-4 people, depending how often you'll cook and eat great produce

Staples

TC Farm's staples package is 100% organic and heavy on the produce staples you want to have around.

There are loads of local root veggies, onions, heirloom garlic and more in this one!

The focus is on everyday veggies like:

• Potatoes (all varieties)
• Onions
• Garlic
• Carrots
• And other similar items

Low Carb

On a low-carb diet? TC Farm's low carb produce box is the one for you.

Each delivery, this package is filled with 100% organic Keto and paleo friendly produce:

• Salad items
• Cucumber
• Broccoli
• Peppers
• Tomato
• Zucchini
• and other similar items

Fruit

TC Farm's fruit-only package is always all organic.

This is a fun package. There are so many amazing fruits from around the country which just don't make it into the grocery store.

This package will include a mix of specialty seasonal items along with everyday fruit staples. The focus is on quality and organic produce

Minnesota's fruit season is fairly short.

In-season: We will include more local fruits.

Out-of-season: We will continue to offer amazing organic fruits at their peak season, though not local.

Organic Produce Matters

Organic doesn't always mean everything we'd like it to mean but it DOES mean something.

For produce, the process isn't that complicated or expensive if you are already complying with the rules.

If someone says they just don't want to do the paperwork, they probably are really saying they just don't want to raise to the organic standards.

Our farmers often say our audits are helpful and force them to keep better records and be a better farmer. Sure it takes a bit more work up front but it is totally worth it in the end.

Why Year Round?

If we want a viable local food system, we need it to provide viable jobs year round. Lucky for us, most of us also eat year round too!

Even if only 10-20% of an early spring delivery is local, that's a LOT more food being raised in Minnesota than otherwise would be. A single farmer's winter share would be only storage crops or just a tiny bit of food. No farmer can afford to deliver ten dollars of crops at a time. As a result, farmers grow fewer winter crops than they otherwise could.

By combining the very best of local food with out of state options in the off season, our CSA makes farming in Minnesota a more sustainable venture. The lack of a year round option cuts farmer's season shorter than it otherwise would be and is a contributing factor why the farming lifestyle is so difficult and most produce farmers stop farming.

Each of our farmers focus on the fruit and veggies they love and which work best for their land. Your delivery will be raised with care and love from seed - to sprout - to scrumptious meal!

Local Matters

Jack and Betsy started their hobby farm which grew into TC Farm because of lettuce. Really.

Sure TC Farm started as a meat only CSA, but the root of the farm came from tasting how different those special varieties of produce, specifically lettuce, could be. Some varieties are so delicate, they can't even be used for TC Farm since they'd lose their flavor only hours after harvest.

No matter what: if you want really tasty and healthy produce, it is simply has to be local.

Having a short time from field to your home allows TC Farm to raise higher quality varieties. These varieties might have lower yields but you can taste just how healthy they are!
