What is the Lake City Catholic Worker Farm?

We are a faith-based community farm in Lake City, Minnesota, inspired by the Catholic Worker tradition of hospitality, healthy food, meaningful work, care for the land, and service to others.

​

Since 2007, we have been building a community centered around farming, hospitality, education, food, and relationships. We believe there is a better way to live—one that brings people closer to the land, to one another, and to the work of creating the common good.

As an intergenerational farm we welcomed Sara's parents in August of 2025 to an addition built onto the straw bale house. John and Sue are wonderful additions to the farm who bring a welcoming spirit to everyone they meet. Pictured are students from Youth Initiative High School who stayed in the basement of John and Sue's addition.
