Featured Vendor: Herbal Turtle Farms

This week's featured vendor is Bryan Crigler of Herbal Turtle Farms located in Winona, MN. He specializes in forest-grown mushrooms, specialty herbs and vegetables. He has also done garlic this year. All of the products are naturally grown without the use of harmful chemicals.
He cultivates a few varieties and is certified to find a few wild varieties.
Bryan got into sustainable agriculture after  away from a corporate job and spending a lot of time on a hobby farm. He really enjoyed it and that is what made him want to become a farmer.
Bryan has been at the Winona Farmer's Market for five years. He believes people are drawn to the farmer's market because it is a place for the community to get together. There is a good variety of vendors, coffee and live music making it a good place for people to hang out. Bryan's favorite part of the market is people talking to the farmers and meeting the people that grow their food.


You can learn more about Herbal Turtle Farm on their websiteFacebookTwitter, or Linked In page.

Don't forget Bryan's mushrooms will give you super powers and (probably) make you smarter!
