Kris and her family own & operate a farm south of New York Mills, MN. Not only do they have production fields for crops, they do a tremendous job helping people experience farming with their u-pick strawberry & raspberry fields during the summer months & their corn maze in the fall. Agritourism is an important part of our local economy and we are super grateful for Kris and the entire Huebsch family.”
