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 this year at our Farm southwest of downtown Park Rapids the last Saturday in September and each Saturday in October. Bring the whole family for the mazes, rides, 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!

Check out the Finding Minnesota feature done on us! http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2012/10/09/finding-minnesota-creative-with-crops/
AT THE FARM: The weather is slowly warming up and our garden is starting to grow. However, due to the cooler temperatures this year, many of our crops are behind. We do not expect our early strawberries to be ready until around the end of June. We anticipate our main crop of berries will be ready around July 4, and currently it looks like u-pick will not start until sometime the week after July 4 -- we will continue to update you on here and on facebook as we know more. The plants ARE looking great though! We're gearing up on our other crops, too, as well as actively working on this year's Pumpkin Party. You should see what Farmer Tony has up his sleeve this year!
AT THE MARKET: We are open Monday through Saturday, 10:00 - 5:30 and will be open July 4 until 2:00. We currently have lots of our asparagus, loose leaf lettuce, some tender spinach and gorgeous red rhubarb, and our beautiful, long cucumbers are now available! We also have our own hormone-free, grass-fed beef, and new this year (while it lasts), we have our own hormone-free pork available in ribs, chops, picnic hams, ground pork, and sausage. Some bedding annuals and perennials are still available as well.
FARMERS' MARKET: Don't forget to look for us at the Park Rapids Farmers' Market on Fourth Street and Main, in front of Amish Oak! Keep looking for us...we'll be there once we have more crops ready.
