Growing fresh & organic flowers and produce in the South suburbs of Minnesota!

Welcome to Rooted Harmony Homestead

Zedé (first picture) & Dejen (second picture) are the co-owners of Rooted Harmony Homestead.

Where our journey isn't just about cultivating crops; it's about revitalizing heritage, fostering community, and sowing seeds of change.

Formerly Grand Risings Farm, our rebranded agribusiness stands as a testament to our commitment to reconnecting with African American roots in the heart of the Midwest.

At Rooted Harmony Homestead, we envision a future where every member of our community knows the hands that nourish the soil, where the bond between grower and consumer transcends mere transaction, and where support for small farmers fuels a sustainable, interconnected ecosystem. 

Our mission is clear:

To reclaim our agricultural heritage, to nurture a community where food sovereignty is paramount, and to source the majority of life-sustaining resources from within our own network.

Our story began with a deep-rooted passion for the land and a desire to honor the legacy of African American farmers who have historically shaped the agricultural landscape. Founded by Minnesota born and raised couple, Dejen and Zedé, Rooted Harmony Homestead represents a labor of love—a dedication to preserving traditions while embracing innovation.

But Rooted Harmony Homestead is more than just an agricultural business. We are educators, advocates, and storytellers. Through workshops, community events, and partnerships, we strive to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to cultivate their own sustenance and to foster a deeper appreciation for the journey from seed to table.

Our commitment to collective change within our food system is reflected in every aspect of our operation. From regenerative farming practices that prioritize soil health to ethical sourcing and distribution, sustainability is at the core of everything we do.

We invite you to join our community, to share in our passion for the land, and to embark on this journey with us. Whether you're a previous CSA member of ours, a curious novice, or simply someone who shares our vision for a more equitable food system, there's a place for you at Rooted Harmony Homestead. Together, lets cultivate roots, nurture community, and sow the seeds of change for a brighter, more sustainable future. 

Welcome, and stay awhile.
