High Noon Highlights #8 Gardens of Eagan

Gardens of Eagan


About

GOE is its people. Knowledgeable, committed, passionate folks dedicated to the organic stewardship of soil. Dirt first.

Mission

Gardens of Eagan is a demonstration of the logic, elegance, and viability of ecologically based, organic food production.

Description

Gardens of Eagan is a 100 acre, urban-edge, vegetable farm, providing certified organic produce to the Twin Cities and surrounding communities. Its proximity to a metropolitan area allows the farm to serve as an educational resource to consumers and farmers through its 501 (c) 3 non-profit, The Organic Field School, http://www.organicfieldschool.org/.

Originally in Eagan, Gardens of Eagan was established by Martin Diffley in 1973 and co-operated with Atina Diffley through 2007. It is now owned by the Wedge Community Co-op and run by farm manager, Linda Halley, and a crew of talented, earnest co-conspirators.

What are High Noon Highlights?

We believe it takes a community to build community. One way We Can Grow does this is with our new series High Noon Highlights. Everyday at 12:00pm we will highlight a new organization that we believe is trying to make the world a better place. We want to make this information easy for you to get so we'll post here on our blog, on our Facebook page, on our Google+ page and we'll send out a Tweet as well.


We believe that supporting other organizations and their efforts to make a change will help in the efforts in our community. So set your watches, phones and alarm clocks and keep checking in at noon everyday!
