Welcome to Medicine Wood.
Our homestead, situated on three acres in the Mississippi River Valley of Minnesota, where green pastures give way to gently sloping hills shaded by ancient Burr Oaks.
Life here is far from glamorous, but each day promises the opportunity to learn, get your hands dirty, and surround yourself with nature.
In the summer months, we tend to a sizeable no-dig vegetable garden and fruit orchard, where we grow enough organic produce to sustain us through the year. Winters are harsh and best spent indoors, but allow time to work on restoring the 1860 farmhouse and plan for next year's crop.
We have learned a great deal in our short time here at Medicine Wood, not just about farming and food preservation, but about ourselves.
We have many dreams for this place— most of all, we hope to be good stewards of the land, so future generations may share in its' splendor.
