Our gardens are modeled after the old-fashioned family farm gardens that were common in this area until the late forties. The book, Five Acres and Independence, is an inspiration and embodies many of our values as well as those that our ancestors brought here when they came from Europe in the 1800’s. In that sense it is a revival of our heritage.

Vasa Gardens is located 3/4 of a mile west of the village of Vasa, MN almost exactly half way between Red Wing and Cannon Falls. Surrounded by a large tract of state forest on two sides, it is an unique 90 acre property (10 acres horticulture) where beautiful hardwood forest meets with bluff country and prairie terrain. The soil is wonderful and we aim to keep it that way. We call our approach to sustainable agriculture Ecological Agriculture or EcoAg.

Come visit us here and join the Vasa Gardens Club U-Pick and Market or see us at the Red Wing Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. Call at 651-258-4233 or email us at cardinal@sleepyeyetel.net
