We try to raise our vegetables and animals in the most sustainable way we can. Though we are not certified, we follow organic practices in our farming. We aim to manage our land in a way that promotes long-term health and diversity. We do not use any synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

 Our focus is our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). CSA is a way to directly support a farmer and, in turn, receive a share of the year’s harvest. You invest early in the year and then we deliver fresh, high-quality produce throughout the season. We really enjoy the community we have with our members - we look forward to meeting new members each year and reconnecting with previous members. 

Vegetables are our main crops, but there is so much more to our farm. Pigs and chickens are a part of our fertility plan but also provide meat and eggs. Bees pollinate our crops but also provide honey. We like to keep things interesting for our customers and ourselves.

We will have whole and 1/2 hogs available for purchase in the early fall. Pigs wil be around 250 lbs on butchering day. This equates to hanging weights of approximately 175lbs for whole hogs and 85 lbs for half. 

The cost is $2.50/lb based on hanging weight, plus butchering/processing fees. Value added products like hams, bacon, and brats will increase your processing fees. The pigs will be processed at Odenthal Meats, New Prague, MN.

If you are interested, please contact us as soon as possible to reserve your whole or half. We want to be sure to raise enough pigs. Payment will be due in the fall.

We are Anna Racer and Pete Skold and we own and operate Waxwing Farm. We both grew up in Minneapolis, MN but spent many summers at Camp Widjiwagan in Northern Minnesota, leading wilderness trips for youth. After working together for five years, Pete finally asked Anna out, and we've been together ever since.

From leading trips and spending long weeks living in the wilderness, we both fell in love with working outdoors. For us, farming was a natural way to settle down and continue to spend our days outside. After graduating college, Anna interned at Foxtail Farm in Osceola, WI and Pete joined her the following summer at A to Z Produce and Bakery in Stockholm, WI. After interning there for a season, we rented an acre next door and started Waxwing Farm in 2011. In January 2012, we found our own 40 acre farm in Webster, MN. 

We love to work hard, eat well, and share our passion with others. We don't use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides in our farming. We do everything we can to be good stewards of our land. We love growing good food and having a close relationship with our customers!
