Seven Songs Organic Farm is a Certified Organic herb, fruit and vegetable farm raising Animal Welfare Approved heritage breed laying hens. I specialize in growing garlic, ginger, and heirloom tomatoes for a number of local food makers & restaurants. I make my own Escape! Garlic Scape Pesto to sell at local specialty stores and co-ops, and deliver eggs to St. Paul weekly.

Yellow Ginger

I order organic yellow ginger seed from Hawaii and grow it in unheated low or high tunnels every summer. I call it baby ginger because it never gets old enough here in Minnesota to grow the brown skin that ginger grows when it has 10 months of warmpth to mature. That means there’s nothing to peel before you use it! Buy a quantity and freeze it for use all year.

Garlic

I grow nine varieties of garlic, each with different qualities. The variety shown is Purple Glazer, which is a stiffneck variety that is excellent when roasted. Another variety, called Thermadrone keeps into April, on a shelf in your kitchen and makes excellent garlic butter (and is preferred by French chefs).

Heirloom Tomatoes

I grow uncommon heirloom tomatoes from seed. Some of the amazing varieties you’ve possibly never heard of (let alone tasted) include Eva Purple Ball, Copia, Blue Boar Berries, and Pineapple Pig. I also sell tomatoes plant seedlings each spring for home gardeners to plant in their own garden.
