Whether you know them as Clearwater Produce or just as "Ivan's", you've almost certainly heard of them. Ivan’s Farm in Leonard, MN is a longtime partner of Harmony Co-op's and we are glad to carry their produce all year round. They provide our community with home-grown produce all year round, from onions and potatoes to greens and tomatoes. Ivan is a staple in our community, as well as at Harmony. He and his family are based out of Leonard, MN and raise cattle, hogs, horses, and of course, an assortment of produce. Besides an enjoyment for the farming lifestyle and a desire to pass those values down to their children, Ivan and his family believe in farming and natural food production as a way to make a living by doing something of value to their part of the world.
When you buy local products, more money stays in your local community, making it more economically resilient and sustainable. Co-op shoppers are supporting local entrepreneurs and small businesses and are making a difference!
From experiencing the fabulous flavors of locally produced food to benefiting the local economy—there’s so much to celebrate about local food.
