Moshky Farm offers seasonal, fresh, organic produce delivered weekly with a focus on Southern African crops. Farmers Marisa Benasutti and Heather Drakegrow unique varieties of greens, peppers, nuts, and more from Heather’s home country of Zimbabwe.
Moshky means bringing together the unique flavors and diverse parts of ourselves into something creative and beautiful. Moshky was a made up word that Maris and Heather used for everything (various meals, farming techniques, etc) when they started farming together. They think it’s important to connect through food, farming, & cooking, and they grow their vegetables on an acre of land at Big River Farms in Marine on St. Croix, MN.
