By Peter Carrels, EcoSun Marketing and Outreach Manager

 EcoSun Prairie Farm has multi-dimensional objectives, including profitability and sustainability of natural resources. The genuine pursuit of accomplishing these objectives is what makes our farm so special.  We are completely dedicated to protecting the natural characteristics of land and water resources while generating a reasonable income from growing, utilizing and harvesting plants that benefit our society. Ours is an ecological approach to agriculture. This is the foundation of our farming philosophy and our approach to stewardship. 

Sustainability is more than a catch-word or slogan at EcoSun Prairie Farms. Our team embraces the challenges of land restoration and growing useful plants that yield a profit, but with minimal environmental impacts.  Our exceptional products –including high-quality hay, seed, and lean, healthy beef- are the result of our belief that healthy land produces healthy food and a healthy future.

We do not envision our style of farming as one that remains relegated to a small niche.  Our goal is to continually prove our relevance and place in the farming community and to expand our idea to other farms in our region. We invite inquiries and welcome the chance to discuss what we’re doing.  On August 3, 2012 starting at 1:00 pm we host a tour of our farm.  We are located near Colman, South Dakota, and we would love to show you what we’re up to.  We’ll provide more information and directions soon. In the meantime, mark your calendar. We look forward to sharing our story with you.
