Welcome to Crowded Table Farm! After twenty years of living in the heart of the city, we traded our pavement for 14 acres among the rolling hills of the beautiful Cannon Valley region of Southeast MN. Crowded Table Farm is the realization of a long-held dream: a place where we can grow good food, restore the land, and—most importantly—share it with others. Our farm is a patchwork of vegetable beds, fruit trees, a budding native prairie, and quiet woods. Life on the Farm: Depending on when you visit, you might see us out in the fields planting, weeding, harvesting, or tooling around on our small tractor. You’ll definitely hear the ducks chatting and the roosters announcing the day, but beyond that, it’s pretty darn quiet here. We are actively restoring a native prairie to provide a home for pollinators and butterflies, and we steward our wooded spaces, working to support a healthy forest ecosystem. The End of the Road: If you’re looking to get off the beaten path, you’ve found it! Our farm sits at the end of a dead-end road, with four miles of gravel between you and the nearest paved highway. Because of that, our nights are truly dark, and the stars are incredibly bright. It’s the kind of place where you can take a deep breath and actually hear yourself think. However, while it feels a world away, we’re actually quite close to some of our favorite Minnesota spots. We’re just 15 minutes from the Cannon River bike trail and great spots for kayaking or canoeing, and Nerstrand Big Woods State Park is a short 20-minute drive away for hiking. The historic downtowns of Cannon Falls and Northfield are both nearby, offering fantastic breweries, antiques, boutiques, vintage shops, bookstores, wineries, restaurants, and more. We are also an easy 45-minute drive from both the Twin Cities and Rochester. A Stay with Purpose: At Crowded Table Farm, we believe in a "purposeful surplus." We run a small CSA, sell at a nearby farmers market, and grow extra produce specifically to donate to our local food bank. By staying here, you aren't just finding a place to pitch a tent—you’re supporting a small-scale food system and a commitment to land stewardship. We can't wait to share this beautiful space with you!Located on the eastern side of the property, you’ll be nestled under the trees in a mostly shaded spot that stays cool even on warm Minnesota afternoons—yet you’re only a few steps away from the sun-drenched native prairie. This is an unplugged site with no electrical or water hookups, allowing you to fully lean into the quiet of the area. We’ve prepared a tent pad and a cleared space that can comfortably accommodate a pop-up camper, teardrop trailer, small RV, or campervan. The site is ready for your camp kitchen and stargazing, including a fire ring, picnic table, and solar lights. While the site is off-grid, the farmhouse is just a short walk away. You are welcome to fill your water containers or tanks at one of our taps (please bring your own hose). You’ll also have full 24/7 access to a clean, private indoor toilet and shower at the farmhouse to make your stay comfortable. A mowed walking path starts right at your site, circling the native prairie and weaving through the woods. The path eventually brings you out near our chicken and duck coops; our birds are a chatty bunch, and you’re more than welcome to stop by and say hello. You’ll likely also meet our farm "staff" while you're here: our two outdoor cats (Cash and Carlile) who rarely turn down a head scratch, and adopted rescue dog Harley. He has a big bark, but he’s a total softie once he knows you’re part of the Crowded Table for the weekend.

Campsite was very private and was next to a gorgeous prairie restoration, featuring a trail around the prairie and through the woods. Hosts were communciative and helpful, gave me plenty of space to have my privacy! There's options to pitch a tent under tree cover, or under the open sky. Good stargazing :)

Emily and Ryan are very kind hosts, and have a wonderfully well maintained and extremely private campsite. It doesn’t feel like you’re in a backyard, but rather it feels like your own private area to camp and chill. The restroom is an about a minute to walk to and was a very nice amenity to have, it is beautifully decorated and again very well maintained and clean. There’s a native flower prairie next to the campsite accessible by foot, and we were able to see many fireflies in the evening! I would advise if you have a car that is pretty low to the ground (like a Prius or Civic) to be careful going through the driveway as the middle of the gravel road is raised and may rub under your bumper. There is absolutely no road/car noise here, just the very infrequent plane or two but not loud at all; you will fall asleep to the endless critters yapping away. We would easily stay here again if we’re in the area or passing by! 5/5

I can't say enough good things about my stay here! The campsite is thoughtfully setup and well-maintained. Also, Emily & Ryan were great hosts. They even helped me get my car started after I discovered I'd drained my battery! Would recommend and hope to stay again.

Nice spot tucked away enough to feel private. Lots of birds and butterflies to watch in the prairie. We appreciated the firewood and bathroom access included with our stay. Quick drive to Nerstrand State park which was a fun day trip.

This place is absolutely beautiful. Hummingbirds, chickens, and ducks around during the day and frog sounds at night. My daughter and I had such an amazing trip with time to recharge and just be together. The camp site is perfect, the bathroom/shower facilities made my daughter exclaim “this is like glamping!” The location is close to so many great places. Emily and Ryan are hosts that make you feel at ease and are available for whatever you need. We feel like we stumbled into something with just a bit of magic to it. We highly recommend this place.
