Hog's Back Farm

Description

When we purchased the farm it had no buildings of any kind or electricity or water. The last few years we have been busy building a packing shed, drilling a well, planting trees, adding to our already extensive pile of outmoded farm equipment and figuring out where to put a house when we get to that point. Presently we still live at our home on the East Side of Saint Paul, but I spend most of the summer at the farm. Our hope is to be living on the farm by late 2006. Melinda is collaborating chef and co-owner of Auriga, arguably the best restaurant in Minneapolis. The farm, the restaurant and our three-year-old daughter, Iris, keep us very busy doing the things that we love. Starting a small farming operation in the 21st century is an adventure, to say the least. Most folks think we're nuts, but I think that if people think you're nuts you must be doing something right. Our goal is to make this a sustainable business for our family, as well as a source of the highest quality food...
