Please contact me about what crops I have available or the culinary item you’re looking for.

I love to experiment growing difficult or unusual herbs, flowers, and vegetables and look forward to discussing the possibilities for collaboration!

For Example…

A few years ago a young couple contacted me because they wanted to create an all Minnesota-grown kimchi. They had heard that I grew ginger, which they thought might be the hardest ingredient to find grown in Minnesota. They came out to the farm and we talked, they helped me harvest ginger, then they made some great kimchi with my garlic and ginger and we have been working together ever since. Now just about all of the yellow ginger I grow goes into You Betcha Kimchi. You can find it in co-ops all over Minnesota and the Upper Midwest!

Incredible quality…

“A huge part of starting and growing our business has been working with Melissa at Seven Songs Organic Farm. Her unique products and incredible quality have allowed us to go from an idea that we started in our apartment to selling our kimchi in 50 stores in 6 states. We work with her year after year because of her hard work, attention to detail, commitment to using exceptional sustainable farming practices, and her fun-loving, caring personality.”

I was in heaven…

"The first time I cooked with Seven Song's Sibley squash, I was in heaven. It has the sweetness of butternut, and the meatiness of kabocha. It is an extremely versatile and delicious vegetable!"
