We are so excited to share that The Bergs and the Bees now accepts SNAP/EBT! 

We believe that good food should be accessible. Your SNAP/EBT benefits can be used on fresh eggs, produce, honey, and even seedlings to grow your own food at home! To make purchases with your benefits, please reach out directly to coordinate as we cannot conduct those sales online.

If you use SNAP, you’re welcome here! Please feel free to contact us with any questions, we are happy to help!

What comes first? The chicken or the egg?
It is an age old question, but for us at The Bergs and the Bees, the answer is simple; the chicken!
Everyone loves our eggs, and they are a tremendous benefit; but they are not the reason we keep chickens.
​
Our hens play a vital role in building our compost bank, which is the foundation for everything we grow. Chickens are incredible composting assists. Kitchen scraps, yard waste, animal bedding , garden waste, and other natural byproducts never go to waste on our farm, they go to our hens! When piled near the coop, our chickens eagerly break down these materials and eventually turn what would have been heavy landfill discarded into nutrient rich compost. We use this to replace the nutrients our crops take out of our raised beds, fields and orchards. It is a beautiful, closed loop system where nothing is wasted and everyone benefits.

Introducing our trial CSA boxes! Each month of the 2024 growing season, we will curate a selection of fresh produce from our farm for your table!

CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a farming model where consumers buy shares or rights to a portion of the farms harvest for the year. CSA programs foster a direct relationship between local farmers and consumers, promote seasonal eating, and often include opportunities for members to visit the farm and participate in farm activities. Buying a CSA share is typically an upfront investment for the consumer because much of the cost of growing food occurs long before the products are ready for consumption.
​
This year we are focused on learning how to scale our production based on demand and experiment with the logistics of operating our own CSA. Each month we will offer a farm box filled with a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers, eggs, and other handmade farm goods. We will post when boxes are available, the contents, price, and a pick-up schedule. Depending on interest, we will rotate one pick up day a month around the Twin Cities area!
