We started Frechette Farms in 2014, moving from South Minneapolis with the goal of living a quieter life in the country, raising animals in a sustainable way and providing high-quality meat and produce to our community. Julie was raised on a vegetable farm outside of Buffalo, New York and Jack spent four years after graduating from college working on a variety of farms all over the state of Minnesota. And while our life up here may not be any quieter with the constant commotion of all of our animals, it is certainly the peaceful and meaningful life we had hoped for.

In addition to our many wonderful livestock animals, we have two farm dogs, Ellie and Teddy, a pet sheep named Leo, and an orange cat whose feral mother took up residence in a barn to have her kittens.
