Our 160 acre former dairy farm is located on a picturesque hilltop, south of the town of Calumet, MN on the west end of the Mesabi Iron Range. We are approximately 15 miles east of Grand Rapids and 22 miles west of Hibbing.

Our warm, sunny hilltop combined with sandy loam soil produces a bountiful crop of juicy red strawberries each summer from mid June to mid July. Each fall our farm is host to thousands of visitors who come to visit our farm animals, marvel at the abundant fall offerings (thousands of pumpkins, squash and gourds) and enjoy the family fun offered at our Pumpkin Patch.
