This week’s #MemberMonday takes us to the Minnesota River Valley near New Ulm, where Guldan Family Farm specializes in growing the very best fruits and vegetables. 🌱 The farm is run by Tim Guldan and his wife, Brooke, who grow fresh, seasonal produce with the same care and dedication Tim’s family has shown for generations. Depending on the day, you might just catch Tim’s dad, Denny, coming out of retirement for a quick spin on the tractor—because some habits are just too hard to break! 🚜 Right now, it’s all about ASPARAGUS! 💚 The fields are bursting with spring veggies, and Guldan’s tender, flavorful asparagus is a must-have—whether you’re roasting, grilling, or adding it to your favorite dishes. You can find Guldan Family Farm each week at both the Mankato Farmers' Market and New Ulm Farmers Market, bringing their freshest picks straight their community. Looking for a good deal on a steady stream of veggies? They still have a handful of CSA shares available for 2025! A CSA membership gives you a full season of farm-fresh produce. It's a great way to eat local and support a Minnesota farm with a long-standing commitment to community and quality.
