About Community Homestead Incorporated

Sustaining land, sustaining people. We are a MOSA certified organic CSA farm, garden and orchard providing high quality vegetables and herbs while providing therapeutic, social and vocational opportunities for our developmentally challenged residents. All proceeds sustain this nonprofit community of six households. Approximately 20 weekly boxes are delivered from the end of May to late October. Boxes come in two sizes: “family” or “couple.” Winter shares are also available (large box every-other-week through December). Additional items can be purchased online weekly and added to your weekly standard vegetable box including: fruits, jams, eggs, beef, pork, bread, cookies, dairy-free baked goods, cards and coffee. Deliveries are made to 10 sites in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Maplewood, Shoreview, Stillwater, Somerset and Osceola. No work or driving required. Visitors, families, groups and classes are very welcome to our organic dairy farm, gardens and community! Several festive events are planned throughout the year. Established in 1995, Community Homestead is a lively, nonprofit community of about 40 people. In six extended households, families live together with adults with developmental challenges. Everyone has a varied schedule to meet their needs and those of the community. Between homemaking, bakery, woodshop and crafts, the farm and garden, there is an important place for everyone. All members are volunteers, receiving room and board and sharing a healthy lifestyle. • Apprenticeship/Employment Opportunities • AmeriCorps and summer internships available.
