Untiedt's - Eagan

We devote whole sections of land for ground-nesting birds to nest in, leave a food patch for the wildlife in the winter, and to the best of our ability, we never harvest our dense cover areas before our wildlife friends have left the fields with their families. AtUntiedts Vegetable Farm we want to teach the community about farming the sustainable way. We want to instill this knowledge weve collected over the last 40 years in to the minds of the next generation. Dont be a taker – give back. If not, we all suffer. With one quick look into the Minnesota and Mississippi River basins and its apparent some people/companies do not share this same logic. There are many intangibles out there that are important. We sincerely recommend reading the Sand County Almanac, a classic written by Aldo Leopold, first published in 1949, and never lost its purpose. Now it serves as a classic reference guide for those interested in reading about the effects on the delicate ecological balance of which we are all a part. Its focus is not on preservation, but on management. We all must try to do the greatest good, and leave the Earth in better condition than when we started. It comes down to the question: What does it mean to you to see the birds return in the spring? To see the wild plum bloom? Land stewardship is our personal religion; our long-term vision, and philosophy to live by. We whole-heartedly believe inpaying it forward and that we dont inherit the land, we borrow it from our children. This agrarian life we live can only be supported if we are one with our environment. Our practical and sustainable methods of farming allow us to achieve this unity. It is no secret that we smile when the Monarchs find the milkweed, and the hummingbirds return to their feeders.
