Like most farms in the region, we grow corn, soybeans and alfalfa. BlackFork Native Grains include Legacy 2 Row Barley and Flint Corn.
NATIVE AMERICAN CORN
Our Native American flint corn is an open-pollinated flint corn originally cultivated by the western Abenaki (Sokoki) people in Vermont, and subsequently grown and maintained by pioneer farmers throughout Minnesota and the Dakotas.

LOCAL FLAVOR
The French concept of terroir means that the characteristics of the soil and other environmental factors influence a crop, and are expressed in the final product.
At BlackFork, we believe terroir is reflected in the the flavor profile of our grains. We grow them with pride and care. There are no short cuts.
