Welcome to North Star Farms! |
 Greetings
You've located the Web site of North Star Farms, the home of "Naturally Grown Prairie Produce." Owned by Marvin and Ilene Baker, North Star Farms is an innovative produce operation in northwestern North Dakota, growing certified organic crops for farmers' markets and community supported agriculture.
It's Official!
On June 29, at 11 a.m., the Entrpreneurial Center for Horticulture at Minot State University-Bottineau, presented a $20,000 grant to Marv and Ilene to fund the building of a passive solar greenhouse on the farm site. It is the latest innovation at North Star Farms that will bring certified organic transplants to North Dakota consumers. Data will be shared with the ECH.
Private Sector Partners
In 2008, North Star Farms was named a private sector partner with Minot State University-Bottineau's Entrepreneurial Center for Horticulture. It means our farm is now a small-scale demonstration farm for the production of organic and locally grown produce in North Dakota. We look forward to working with MSU-Bottineau on cutting-edge research as this segment of North Dakota agriculture continues to rapidly expand.
Promoting North Dakota
Not only do Marv and Ilene believe in providing healthier food items to the public, they want visitors of this Web site to get a glimpse of the four seasons of natural beauty found in northwestern North Dakota. Photographs used on this Web site are their own and are most often taken on the farm.
