Meet Our Farmer Melissa

Melissa raises produce for TC Farm.

Before starting her farm, Melissa worked in the Scientific and Natural Area Program of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. She helped the state buy land that harbored rare plants and animals.

Melissa farmed while working her off-farm job for 10 years before starting Seven Songs Organic Farm. When she quit to farm full time, she simply did more of what share had already been doing on the farm.

She grows several specialty crops that are not found widely in Minnesota including several types of garlic and ginger. She also is an expert in growing heirloom tomatoes for TC Farm members.
