"The young lamb we sell is better than what is available at grocery stores, where they often sell imported, older, less desirable meat," says Diane.

      Feola Farms - Yvonne Feola Products: Meat (lamb, beef, eggs) & Vegetables (lettuce, peppers, cucumbers, etc.) Five years ago, Yvonne Feola was contemplating an abundant harvest of homegrown produce. She wasn't going to be able to eat or use it all for her family, so she decided to try her luck selling her produce at Farmers Market at Minnetrista. Since then, her natural product line-up has grown to include meats and vegetables of all kinds. If you visit her booth, she can promise all guests one thing—that she doesn't, and won't, use pesticides on her produce or use antibiotics or hormones in her meat.
