Buy Local
Buying locally produced goods creates jobs in our community, reduces the use of fossil fuels to bring food to market, pays local taxes and allows for fresher, vine ripened nutritionally healthy foods for you. Garden Fresh Farms is located in Maplewood, MN a suburb of St. Paul and is a year round local grower. The business is family owned and operated.
Currently food takes an average of 1,500 miles to reach your plate. We don’t believe this is sustainable, that is why we have worked with many experts in different fields of study from energy, lighting, aquaculture, horticulture, water treatment, environmentally friendly packaging and harvest ergonomics to grow food in a sustainable method right in your back yard.
Did you know that up to 80% of the cost of produce can be related to transportation. Gas, trucks, special packaging and spoilage can all be attributed to the transportation costs. Some products like tomatoes have a 25% spoilage rate while in the grocery store. WASTE.
Our products are fresh picked close to your home and stay fresh in your fridge for two weeks. Join the movement to eating fresh tasting, locally grown without pesticides, is the next best thing to organic.

We pride ourselves on natural and local. We plan to build farms in additional cities around the world so that wherever you see our brand, you know the quality and methods are the same, and that it was grown local to that retail store.
Presently we do not ship product. Hope to have a Canada farm soon.
Do you use heirloom, Non-GMO seeds and are organic?
No need for GMO because we are indoors. GMO were created to solve problems, resistant to drought, pestilence, etc. That “engineering” can have some unintended consequences, like caffeine in corn. Indoors with natural organic methods protects the plants so we never use GMO seeds and our Aquaponic practices make the produce tastier. Ask our customers.
You can find our products at WFM, Mississippi Mkt and other coops, or join our CSA with pick up spots in Roseville, Maplewood and St Paul.
