"Lots of folks just don't realize that many vegetables can be planted as soon as the ground is workable," says SallyJo, owner of Sustainable Dream Greenhouses, located between Whalan and Peterson on Hwy 16 at mile-marker 247. "Nighttime temperatures can dip below freezing, but these vegetables withstand, and in many cases thrive, on cool temperatures. Some vegetables even taste better after being nipped by frost in the fall. I know which tomatoes dry well, and which variety of Rhubarb is best for raw eating, among other helpful tips. I can help you select and grow food for your own family's table. Local? How about grown in your own backyard? Now that's local."

A clean, green, greenhouse operation using no insecticides, pesticides, fungicides, growth inhibitors or regulators. Utilizing IPM whenever practical. Our motto is: We try to do the right thing. We grow the very latest, up to the minute varieties, as well as the varieties your Grandmother trusted and loved. Many unique and hard to find selections other area greenhouses do not grow. This Greenhouse is well worth the drive, nestled beneath SE MN coulees, along the scenic and serene Root River. Enjoy the Root River, the walking/bike trails, and the Greenhouse.
