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.

Rhubarb Torte and Peach Cream Pie were the desserts Shawn and Dave Schneeberger brought to our Locally Grown Meal. True to our local meal challenge, the two sourced ingredients from the area including Millerville Co-Op Creamery Butter, Swany White Flour and eggs purchased from a six-year-old who is using the egg money to buy a splash pad. The desserts were flavorful and not too sweet or too tart. Just right.

It was a first for Leon: pan fry cheese curds, but these curds were a great part of our appetizers. Made with fresh cheese curds from Redhead Creamery with bacon from Haffner Family Farm, it was great served with locally sourced salad and a cheese and meat board with cheeses from Redhead Creamery and Fruitful Seasons Dairy.

Thanks to our personal chef, Leon!

Alise Sjostrom is the redhead behind Redhead Creamery cheese. Partnering with her husband, Lucas, and her parents, Jerry and Linda, she makes cheese on the family dairy farm near Brooten, MN. Jerry and Linda milk 200 cows with a portion of the milk produced going direct to the nearby cheese plant where Alise, joined by Linda, makes cheese two to three times a week. Brie, munster, cheese curds and variety of cheddars are produced at the farm. It’s the realization of an idea Alise had when she was just 16.
