Hello!

I started out as a volunteer at the market in the summer of 2023, right when I originally moved to Red Wing. Ever since, it has been a wonderful experience. Meeting all of the vendors and volunteers welcomed me to a community that I would become to enjoy so much. Being able to help provide fresh produce and other goods to that community became such an important part of my life. Important enough to join the board for the Red Wing Farmers Market. I am incredibly grateful to be a part of this amazing groups of board members, vendors, and volunteers.

Don’t forget your tokens!

She shares her land by offering on farm camping/glamping, as well as homesteading day camps for kids and adults. She is passionate about sharing her love for local food, and planting seeds of enthusiasm in folks to learn little skills of homesteading, one step at a time!

I am lifelong resident from Lake City and have TC Fick Garden Goodies.  I am married to my husband Tom and we have started our business in 2024 of canned good items.  We both grew up canning with our families and having been doing this for 30 plus years.  In our free time we are in our gardens at my parents’ home and when we are not there, we are spending time with our 2 children and their families.

I have enjoyed being a vendor in Red Wing and being able to interact with all the vendors and volunteers.  I look forward to being on the board, being part of the Red Wing Farmer’s Market and interacting with the community.
