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!

Carter's Red Wagon Farm Market is currently closed for the winter season as we hibernate and prepare for another year.  Look for us to re-open sometime in mid-May with asparagus and bedding plants, along with all your other favorite products!  Can't wait until then?  Stop in at Jack Pine Java on Main in Park Rapids for some of our great jams, jellies, syrups, wild rice, snacks, and more!  We'll be set up there until the end of March.
