Ohe’s Outpost sells ground beef and select meat cuts plus Mary’s baked goods and Landon’s pictures of cattle and farm scenes at the Fergus Falls Farmers Market. Landon joined the Farmers Market last year and is expanding the marketing of the family’s beef products. It’s a family affair with Landon, his two siblings and their families plus the Ohe’s parents all chipping in where needed for crops and livestock. The cattle are raised on pasture.

I am surprised by wild rice, especially the fact it is harvested here in Otter Tail County in West Central Minnesota! You need a license and can harvest it anywhere except on Native American lands. Paul Shol of Fergus Falls joins two friends in “ricing” as he calls it. During the harvest season - late August through September - they head out in a canoe and harvest from the wild rice stands in the rivers and lakes of the area.

Locally grown in winter? You bet! Look for local products at your mom and pop grocery store, food co-ops or specialty stores and make connections with growers during the Farmers Market season inquiring if they have products available in the off season. We made a connection with one grower who raises cherry tomatoes under grow lights through the winter.
