About Us

Sunflower Urban Farms is a new, urban farm that utilizes chemical-free, sustainable growing practices. This is our fifth year growing fresh produce, our second year as urban farmers, and our first year selling at markets. We grow using bio-intensive methods on approximately 1/10th of an acre in the West 7th neighborhood in St. Paul, MN. We focus primarily on heirloom vegetables and exciting varieties that you may not find at the grocery store. We also grow vegetables used in cultural cooking and will be growing Thai Bitter Melon, Hmong Red Cucumbers, and Caribbean Red Peppers, among others this year. We are a tiny farm on a very small scale, but we produced over 1100 lbs of fresh vegetables and fruits last year.This year, we have more land in production and hope to have a successful beginner’s experience at the Midtown Farmer’s Market and selling directly to neighbors who may not have access to fresh, healthy food.

Tomato Plant Order Form is online!

If you are looking for chemical-free heirloom tomato seedlings, look no further! I have 12 varieties of heirlooms and 1 hybrid available for pre-order. Seedlings will be ready for pick-up after May 15th. With the warm spring, you may be able to get a jump start on your tomatoes! You can expect the seedlings to be well-rooted in 3-inch pots, about 6-8 inches tall. Place your order today here !

I've been able to grow and gather SOOOOO much!!

Today, a friend asked me what I've been able to harvest myself so far, vs having to purchase. It's a great question, so here's the list of things I've been able to grow and/or wild harvest from trusted friends' land: Catnip, lavender, hops, yarrow, goldenrod, elderflower, elderberry, red raspberry leaf, forsythia, dandelion, plantain, nettles, mullein, lemon balm, calendula, red clover, blackberry leaf, marshmallow leaf and root, comfrey leaf and root, cleavers, burdock root, rose, rose hips, basil, sage, chive flowers, garlic, pineapple sage, oregano, balsam fir, rosemary, prickly lettuce, and motherwort! It's amazing what you can do on a small chunk of land. I can't wait to have even more space.
