Lundin Family
Michael and Jessica Lundin moved to their current farm in 2012 with no intention of turning the property into the farm it became. They worked on fixing up the house, yard and trails, and they lovingly named the property “LundinCroft.” The property had a 100’ x 100’ fenced garden, and they began their gardening journey, learning how to grow vegetables in the northern Minnesota climate. The idea of farming began when their children began growing pumpkins to sell with their grandpa. Slowly, more products were added to the roadside stand, and the Lundins have grown their offerings each year.
Today, the Lundins farm all of their field-grown crops on about one acre of land. The Lundins’ operation is a family effort; Mike and Jess and their children Dylan, Evan, Addy, Walter and Mary all contribute to the farm in many ways. Their crops include mini pumpkins, broom corn, specialty sunflowers, lisianthus, zinnias, cosmos, dahlias, peonies, lilies and snapdragons.
They sell all their products at their roadside stand, allowing people to shop in a relaxed, outdoor setting. The Lundins have also created photo opportunities around the stand, including a “gourd tunnel” and pumpkin spiral for customers to wander through. Additionally, the farm supports a flower CSA, U-Pick experiences, and senior and family photography opportunities on the property.
