Place
The Start/Finish Line is at Hawk Creek Country Club, just beyond the NW corner of the clubhouse.
Follow your nose to the corner of 70th Street South and Hinton Avenue South to Junction 70, the perfect place to grab a craft beer and a pizza. Maybe a hand-cut steak, juicy burger or authentic smokehouse BBQ is more your style. We have a huge menu for taste buds of all kinds.
Beaver Falls County Park, located in the beautiful Minnesota River Valley, is divided into two parts: the horse camp and the recreation area. The horse camp features wooded ravines, horse ties, manure bunkers and Beaver Creek. The upper half features the Beaver Creek Recreational Area. Both areas consist of shelters, restrooms, water, fire pits and ample multi-use trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding. Beaver Creek was formed when the Minnesota River Valley was carved into the landscape by the massive Glacial River Warren.

Fresh Acres was founded in 2016 when two crazy corporate-types decided to take a leap into farming. Our mission was, and remains, to produce healthy, locally grown food to feed your family, as well as our own. In that vein, we purchase non-GMO seeds from carefully sourced seed companies, and we do not use harsh fertilizers and chemicals – we are not certified organic, but we grow in an organic manner. We also raise animals on the farm, closer to the way God intended them to be raised – they are free-range / pasture-raised, and we supplement with soy-free, transitional-organic feed.
