About us
SLEEPING CAT ORGANIC FARM is nestled between two lakes in Meeker County Minnesota. The land has been in the Desens family since 1927. Originally it was farmed the "traditional" methods of the time: with horse-drawn equipment, using no pesticides or artificial fertilizers. By the time Ron went off to college (in 1962), the farm had been "modernized" with tractors and conventional agri-chemical use. When Ron and his new family moved back to the farm in 1980, we slowly started to make changes. We converted our most erosion-prone land to permanent woodland, for starters. By 1983, no chemicals were being used on the farm. Despite our veterinarian's protests, the few cattle we owned were not implanted with hormones, nor were they given feed-grade antibiotics.
