  • Small-Scale, Regenerative Farmers

    working together to make things work

    Laura Fredrickson-Gosewisch

    Laura's career as a massage therapist and farmer has centered around honoring the interconnection of our bodies and the earth. That's what inspired her to create Vital Ground - she works tirelessly to nourish body, soul, and soil through her farming and work.

    Leah & Evan Mathiason

    Rusty Patch Farm

    Ogilvie, MN

    Leah and Evan farm with deep reverence for the land and care for the life it sustains. From organizing a free farmstand in their community to share the harvest with those in need, to welcoming people into a network of community gardens they helped create. These folks rock!

    Tony & Sarah Grossman

    Earnest Acres

    Saint Paul, MN / El Paso, WI

    Tony, Sarah, and their three kids live in Saint Paul and own 14 acres in El Paso, WI where they work as a family. A passion for "bees and trees" drives their small, efficient farm that churns out berries and fruit, healthy young trees and golden honey thanks to this family's dedication to caring for the land.

  • what does it mean,Vital Ground?

    our bodies,

    like the "soil" of our lives,

    hold it all together

    food, survival, thriving

    all depends on

    relationship

    Soil is a complex network of interconnectedness that creates the foundation for living things to thrive

    It humbly holds everything together, nourishing everything it holds, enduring even when depleted
    People have a similar ability
    to produce and sustain things,
    caring beyond our capacity at times
    How can we be responsible stewards of ourselves as a valuable, limited resource?
    If we treat ourselves and our relationships like hallowed ground - what could happen next?
  • YOU are the most vital component of YOUR life!

    Just as depleted soil will not produce healthy crops,

    we don't do our best work when we are burned out

     

    Sustainability is about regeneration,

    allowing nature to replenish what we use

     

    Life requires resources from our body

    that must be replenished, too
