About the farm

Nestled in the rolling hills of Northfield, Minnesota, B&D's Farm has been nurturing the land and serving our community since 1985. Led by Der Thao, our 65-acre farm represents a rich blend of Hmong agricultural heritage and sustainable farming practices that have been passed down through generations.

Our story began when the Thao family established these fertile acres with a vision of creating not just a farm, but a legacy. Drawing from our Hmong cultural background, we bring centuries-old farming wisdom to every crop we cultivate. This deep connection to the land, combined with our commitment to quality, has made us a trusted presence at the St. Paul Farmers' Market, where we take pride in bringing fresh, locally grown produce directly to our community.

From our farm, to you

From vibrant flowers to fresh vegetables and aromatic herbs, each plant begins its journey in our care. We work year-round, adapting to Minnesota's changing seasons to maintain continuous cultivation. Through winter's chill and summer's warmth, our greenhouses and fields remain active, ensuring we can provide our community with fresh, locally grown produce and beautiful flowers throughout all four seasons.

For nearly four decades, we've worked these fields with dedication and care, maintaining the traditions that make our produce exceptional while embracing innovative farming practices that ensure sustainability for future generations.
