Growing Lots began as an urban farm on two formerly vacant parking lots in South Minneapolis. They grew to serve a 75 member CSA, sold at multiple farmers markets, and even wholesaled to some local restaurants.
When the lot leases ran up in fall of 2022, farmers Taya Schulte and Seamus Fitzgerald relocated Growing Lots to a farm in Wheeler, WI – an hour and half from the city, but close to other small scale farmers who they had looked up to for many years. 2023 was the inaugural season on the farm in Wisconsin.
“Farming has always been a special blend of exhausting and exhilarating, so we are up for the challenge of making this new farm our home! Which brings us to 2024, still pondering a new name for our farm…we have ironically out grown the name “Growing Lots,” but our new name has yet to reveal itself. All that aside, we are eager to continue growing delicious produce for our ever expanding community.”
