Our Mission is to trial, demonstrate and promote bio-regionally appropriate regenerative farm designs, techniques, technology & products through on-site research/education, off-site consultation, and assisting new farmers establish in the region.
Our Vision is of a healthy & robust food system in the Minnesota North Shore Bio-Region, comprised of a thriving network of small-scale regenerative farms producing a variety of food, fiber, medicine and woodland resources.
Research, education, and demonstration
The North Shore AgroEcology Center (NSAEC) is a regenerative agriculture project of the Organic Consumers Association nestled in the hills overlooking Lake Superior in northern Minnesota. The Center consists of a regenerative farmstead with a Deep Winter Greenhouse, a young perennial food forest, mushroom log cultivation, medicinal herb terraces, and a small market garden. Across the road is the newly renovated barn event space and a small demonstration garden.
