Certified organic vegetables in Hutchinson, Minnesota
We’re Ethan and Carly Zierke. We started Sweet Season Farm in 2022.
Before we were farmers, we were totally new to the world of eating local food.
We didn’t know when tomato season actually started. We weren’t sure how to cut up the round, spaceship-looking kohlrabi we brought home. And we definitely let a few perfectly good vegetables end up in the compost because we didn’t know what to do with them.
That’s why we built our farm to help.
If you care about cooking at home and supporting local food but want help figuring it all out, you’re in the right place.
We grow certified organic vegetables and share practical recipes and storage tips so local food feels not only doable but fun!
