Our Story
At Farmers' Divine Harvest Co-op we are founded on providing our consumers the best of the best, and directly from the source. Our online based strategy complete with pick up locations or delivery is created with convenience and simplicity in mind. We want you to get to know us as your farmers. We are inspired by your stories that made you change the way you live and we want to become your provider. So get to know us and our families!

Our Co-op adventure began with a dream in Becky’s mind. She wanted to help her fellow producers by creating a safe, like minded, place to market their harvests which could reach many consumers at once. The Co-op also provides the opportunity to combine not only the products one producer sells but many producers all at once. For the farm producers, this means getting more out of their investment versus selling in the open commodity market.

Why Support Farmers’ Divine Harvest Coop?
As many of you are aware, hundreds of small family farms are lost or sold each year as the commodity market becomes saturated with larger farms. While the size of a farm isn't inherently problematic, many family farms struggle to survive the financial pressures that come when big operations dominate the local marketplace and continue to expand. This is your opportunity to support the men and women who choose to grow your food and make your everyday essentials—those hardworking families who dedicate their lives to caring for their livestock and farmland to feed the world.
Meet Your Farmers
Becky Heinz - Founder
Introducing Legendary Acres - A family farm established on Faith, Family, and Agriculture…
The Legendary Acres family believes in God's purpose for a grazing and self sufficient herd. A herd which strives for cow longevity in a simple, efficient, cow comfort centered system. Becky and her daughters own and operate Legendary Acres near Brooten, MN. Here, they raise beef cow/calf pairs, goats, and house some dairy youngstock. Their farm focuses on sustainability by using a no-spray farming system which promotes nature to do her intended job. The farm rotationally grazes the beef herd and is a certified Minnesota Water Quality farm. Becky is also the herd manager at Kampsen Dairy which is home to over 100 conventional dairy cows and the majority of the herd's youngstock. Legendary Acres provides home made laundry detergent and farm fresh eggs on the co-op marketplace.
Introducing Colfax Farms - A Legacy Grown Over 150 Years
Rooted deeply in tradition yet constantly embracing innovation, Colfax Farms stands as a testament to multi-generational dedication, having recently celebrated its 150th anniversary. Today, the farm is a true family endeavor, jointly owned and operated by the 4th and 5th generations: Dale and Deb, alongside their son Justin, his wife Mandy, and their children. What began as a foundational operation featuring dairy cattle and sheep has evolved into a diversified enterprise. The family currently manages a thriving cow-calf herd, steers, custom feeding feeder pigs, and grain farming operations. The farm is forward-thinking, embracing strip tillage and implementing cover crop rows within their corn to enhance soil health and sustainability. Colfax Farms offers its high-quality products directly to consumers, including beef by the package, wholesale beef, and all-natural, unaltered honey.
