Rusty Patch Farm is an urban micro farm based on the West Side of St Paul and farming at Big River Farms. We are focused on food sovereignty for our neighborhood and participate in our local farmers market, free farm stand network and community grown food projects. We also run a small CSA. We align our farming practices with respect for the land and recognize that we are on the occupied land of the Dakota Oyate.
