Homestead Ponds

Follow along as I post recent happenings, recipes and life at Homestead Ponds. We originally started out raising our own Rainbow Trout which we offered fresh and smoked, tragically last year (2013) we lost all 5500 fingerlings for the coming year due to an electrical outage. The decision was made not to continue to grow out own fish. As our different varieties of smoked fish and pickled fish were well received we decided to concentrate on these products and purchase fish from our local commercial fisherman. Over the years we have concentrated on adding unique products - including our own roasted organic artisan coffees and iced teas made from wild cranberries and wild blueberries. We also have organic certified Shiitake mushrooms, available fresh, and dehydrated whole and powered. And new for the 2017 season we will be offering roasted Cashews and Almonds in an assortment of flavors. Most of our products are available June-September at the Grand Rapids MN Farmers Market.
