Welcome to Whitewater Gardens Farm.

The Store is Closed!!

Happy New Year!

It's time to start thinking about your native plant purchases for this spring!  Lawns to Legumes has just announced the 2025 Spring awards and we want to make sure that that you know that even though we don't have the store open yet, we are busy seeding and prepping lots of varieties of native plants to offer.  We'll update the varieties that we are seeding shortly and as soon as we have enough plants ready, we'll open the store.  Watch closely as there will be a few changes this year such as flat sizes, etc.

We will also list the places that you will be able to find our plants this spring as well as list the different plant sales that we will be attending.  Below find a list of dates and other information for the Lawns to Legumes program.

  • Spring 2025 Lawns to Legumes award announced:  January 15, 2025
  • Spring 2025 Cohort deadline to complete project and request reimbursement:  July 15, 2025

Plant availability is constantly changing.  Please check the website often to see what is available.  As for produce, if we have products in large enough quantities, they will be available on the website.  Otherwise, most produce will just be at the markets and items will change often.  We will try to keep you updated to let you know what products you may expect to see at the markets.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions that you may have either by phone or email.  Our contact info is located at the top and the bottom of the page.

Thank you for all of your support!


About Us

Whitewater Gardens Farm is a small family farm located in southeast Minnesota on the edge of the beautiful Whitewater valley.  Just thirty minutes from either Rochester or Winona, our products can be found in local Coops, restaurants and farmers markets.

Using regenerative certified organic methods, we grow a wide variety of produce in the mineral rich bluffland soils.  In spring we offer tomato and herb transplants along with a large number of native prairie and woodland plants.  We strive to work closely with nature to make our farm a healthy habitat for wild life, pollinators and beneficial insects. We work to encourage life in the soil to grow healthy, nutritious veggies for our community.
