Freedom Farms
Minnesota is one of the worst states in the country in terms of access to nutritious foods. Our plan is to flood the desert!
Freedom Farms is an answer to a growing need to evolve–for our people and for our planet.

Mix it up!
Todd Western IV is tapping into the generations of farmers before him and reframing how his family thinks about farming in the future. While traditional row crops have been the lifeblood for so many farmers, the industry’s mono culture practices are illuminating detrimental impacts on climate as well as an inefficiency in land usage.
Todd’s goal is to diversify his family’s practices to provide his children a means to flood communities like his beloved Minneapolis with nutrient-rich produce. This has led to him discovering a passion for growing microgreens.
Freedom Farms reminds us that we have these freedoms:
Health.
Collectively, we have the power to take our health into our own hands.
Economic.
By offering affordable and nutrient-dense food, we give communities the power to save money on the cost of groceries and healthcare.
Growth.
Nobody is stuck in any box! We believe everyone has the freedom to learn new skills, perspectives and create life experiences.
Healing.
Emotional and mental traumas are at an all-time high these days. We advocate for everyone to free themselves of the stigmas that come with prioritizing your physical and mental health equally.
