Sweet Land Farm has been a dream of ours for a long time. That dream started to take shape in 2014, when we bought our home and 32 acres in Cloquet, MN. At the time, Veronica was in graduate school, and we had just welcomed our third baby — so naturally, it felt like the perfect time to take on a fixer-upper and start a farm! Looking back, we had no idea how much work was ahead of us, but we were determined to make it happen.

​

For several years, we both worked full-time jobs off the farm while slowly building Sweet Land Farm with blueberries and our personal care product business. In 2019, I was finally able to leave my job and focus on the farm full-time. That same year, Veronica’s job shifted so she has summers off — which means our whole family gets to spend those sunny months farming, exploring, and just being together (fun and a little chaotic).

​

Over the past ten years we’ve planted hundreds of blueberry bushes, dreaming of the day when we could open the farm for families to come and pick their own. That dream finally came true in 2020 when we welcomed our first visitors to the fields. Since then, it’s been such a joy to see families out here — kids with berry-stained hands and big smiles, friends reconnecting over a bucket of berries and everyone making memories together.

​

From the beginning, our hope for Sweet Land Farm has been simple: to create a space where our community can play, explore, and enjoy the beauty of nature — all while picking fresh, organic blueberries grown with care. Every single bush has been planted and nurtured by hand, with love and gratitude for the people who support us.

​

We’re so thankful for all the friends, family, and neighbors who’ve helped us along the way. Sweet Land Farm wouldn’t be what it is without you. We can’t wait to welcome you here — to wander the fields, taste the berries, and make a few sweet memories of your own.   -Veronica & Nathan
