Come spend time with the Twin Cities Metro Growers Network at Rapha Farms and discover how a small dream grew into the farm it is today. During this guided tour, you’ll hear the story of how Rapha Farms began, the challenges and blessings Karen & Dave experienced along the way, and how the family continues to adjust their space, equipment, and labor as their goat milk soap business grows.

After seeing the soap-making shop, we’ll head out to the pasture where you can meet friendly goats, learn about their care, and enjoy time walking among the herd. It’s a relaxing opportunity to experience farm life, ask questions, and connect with the animals that make Rapha Farms' products possible.

Whether you’re a longtime customer or visiting for the first time, Rapha Farms would love to share our farm, story, and goats with you.

Advance registration is required. No walkups, please. It is free to attend. Rapha Farms products will be available for purchase.

This event will be hosted at a working farm with uneven terrain. Please contact Lia Spaniolo with accessibility questions: spaniolo@umn.edu

This event is funded through the Minnesota Department of Agriculture AGRI Urban Agriculture grant.

SFA staff and volunteers occasionally take photos during our workshops, cafe chats and field days for promotional purposes and to use as documentation of events to share with our funders.  If you do not wish to be photographed, please let our event host know -- we'll make every effort to make sure you are not photographed.
