Twin Cities Berry Co. is a research and production farm dedicated to increasing the Twin Cities' supply and access to healthy, locally produced fruit. We do this by developing and utilizing season extension technologies that push fruit production past its normal harvest window while maintaining impeccable taste and quality.
Purchasing TC Berries supports local growers and puts money back into the community!
Fresh fruit loses its natural sweetness over time, but because local TC Berries don't travel for days to market, they're typically sweeter than most fruit you'll find.
For the same reasons, local TC Berries will almost always be more nutritious than fruit you get from supermarkets.
The farmers at TC Berry Co. utilize organic and sustainable practices, striving to make their production 'environmentally benign'.
TC Berries is owned and managed by Dr. Andrew Petran, a horticulturalist who specializes in extending the small fruit season in the Upper Midwest. Dr. Petran pursues cutting edge practices to blend production with sustainability.
Part of TC Berries' mission is provide outreach and education about small-market farming and on-farm research methods, free of charge and accesisble online.
