Rod's Berry Farm
Rod’s Berry Farm began as a dream in the heart of Rodney Elmstrand in the late 1970’s as he finished college. He had the desire to take over the family farm (80 acres purchased by his parents in 1934), but did not have equipment for traditional farming of corn and soybeans. Rod attended “strawberry school” at the U of MN and the first plants went in the ground in 1981 with all of Rod’s siblings coming to help. Rod married Sara after the first picking season in 1982.
