Greetings from the Carter family. We are looking forward to another year of hard work as stewards of the soil we have been entrusted with.

We hope that our fruits and vegetables will provide for you and your family in a special way knowing that you are buying directly from a farm family. We grow most of our quality fruits and vegetables right on our farm southwest of Park Rapids where you can pick your own strawberries in late June through mid-July.

 At our Farm Market east of Park Rapids, you can select from our own plants and a variety of fresh produce, unique canned and packaged foods, jams and jellies, snacks, crafts, and other interesting items.


Enjoy our Pumpkin Parties at the Market each Saturday in October. Bring the whole family for the maze, rides, treasure hunts, pumpkin propeller, and more fun for all ages.

Even as we're committed to continuing our tradition of growing the best quality fresh foods for the benefit of our community, we are constantly looking to the future and applying innovative new ways to serve you better.

We hope to see you at Carter's soon!

We will be open Saturday, July 4, from 10:00 - 2:00 -- then look for us in the parade!

STRAWBERRIES!  We have plenty of strawberries available at our Market.  We anticipate u-pick starting around July 6, but PLEASE check this site regularly for updates!  We will update information as it becomes available.

We are nearing the end for asparagus -- and it's still on sale!  Buy five pounds or more and pay only $2.00 per pound (regularly $2.50 per pound).   All  plants are on sale 25% and going fast.  Rhubarb is also still available but will be ending soon.

Also available from the farm are tender spinach, sugar snap peas, delicious cucumbers, leafy beet greens, and a small amount of our own tomatoes.

Like homemade cinnamon rolls?  We'll have baked-that-day, start-from-scratch cinnamon rolls each Friday and Saturday morning (not available July 10 & 11).  They sell out fast, so stop by early.  Yum!

Six Watkins items will be featured and on sale 25% with items rotating on a regular basis.    Stop in today to find out how to get ALL your Watkins products at 25% off (or more).
Yep, those really ARE our strawberries!
