A message from our grower, Andy Miller

Our grower, Andy Miller, sent us a handwritten letter (pictured right) to share about his expansion of Organic certified produce and how his family contributes to growing their high quality produce. Andy and his family are Amish growers who own and operate their farm, Harmony Acres, in Eagle Bend, Minnesota. We wanted to share his letter to our Food Hub Director, Jessie, to help showcase the values and dedication Andy and his family hold when growing produce for our region. The below text is a transcription of Andy's letter.

Dear Jessie, or whoever this letter may apply to at Sprout Food Hub,

We have grown produce now for 2 years and are adding on to our production planning with growing mainly broccoli, cauliflower, snap peas, winter squash, Brussel sprouts, onions, sweet corn and kohlrabi.

Additional crops in smaller quantities but still a sufficient amounts of beans, cabbage, carrots, celery, cucumbers, pickles, dill, fennel, eggplant, ground cherries, lettuce, potatoes, parsnips, rutabagas, summer squash, zucchini, kale, Napa cabbage, turnips, peppers, tomatoes, beets, celeriac, sweet potatoes, leeks and radishes. P.S. strawberries and pumpkins and gourds.

All crops are “or if any new ones,” will all be certified organic and all crops are becoming to be GAP certified sometime late Summer 2020. 

We are a family operated produce growers by Andy & Sadie Miller and eight children with Alvin, Sylvia, Mary and Sarah in charge. 

We hope to be your number 1 in quality produce supplier in the future.

Thank you for the past business and we wish you a Happy New Year. 

Sincerely, 

Andy Miller
