Small-Scale | Regenerative | No-Till
We don’t use any pesticides or herbicides, and almost all of our farm work is done by hand without the help of machinery.
Compost is black gold.
It’s teeming with nutrients, organisms, and mycelium. At Prairie’s Edge, we create our own and prioritize the use of it as a way to amend our soil. We’ve found it creates heartier plants, more nutrient-dense produce, and abundant blooms.
We try to know all the sources in our compost pile.
Our compost is primarily organic waste from the garden, finely ground mulch from our township, leaves from our property, green silage from a local source, and ash from our fireplace. Once it has been broken down, all of our food waste and plant matter from growing is added back into the soil.

Small but Mighty
We are a team of two. Years ago we ran in the same circle of friends. Now we run a small farm and spend pretty much every waking minute together. If it wasn’t for Derek’s ducklings and a warm invitation to join him on the farm, planting sunflowers on a glowing summer day, we may never have realized how great we were together. Emily joined Derek’s decade-long quest to grow pesticide-free produce and swiflty added copious amounts of flowers to the garden. We have been growing together since 2020!
Looking for something else?
We love finding new varieties and offering an array of different plants to our customers.
Perhaps you are interested in a certain type of vegetable or flower, or you prefer something specific (more/less ripe, larger/smaller) or a bulk order of something in particular. Reach out and let us know!
