Who We Are

Our mission at Feed-Me Farms is simple: eliminate chemical fertilizers and pesticides, use unused yard space in a sustainable way, and provide access to fresh produce to the community. We borrow lawns from different local homeowners, forming a system of suburban farm plots to grow organic vegetables. A portion of all our produce goes to local food shelters, while the rest is sold in farmers markets.  

The Legend Behind the Name

Feed-Me Farms is named in tribute to the memory of a great man and great friend, Andrew Jaffee. Andrew was an adventurous and loving person, with a bit of an appetite, who earned the nickname Feed-Me back in 2nd grade gym class at Alice Smith Elementary in Hopkins. In 2018 Andrew passed at the age of 28 from cancer, and a community of family and friends around the world continue to miss him dearly. May we all eat well and be merry in his honor!

Meet the Owner

JAKE JARECKI
​
Jake Jarecki is the owner, farmer, and chef of Feed-Me Farms. A graduate of Hopkins High School (2008), Jake spent 10 years in Seattle and Portland, but an interest in organic agriculture led Jake to a year-long stint on a farm in Wisconsin, and after becoming hooked, Jake decided to break ground and start Feed-Me Farms in his hometown back in Hopkins, MN in 2020.

"It takes a lot of courage to do what Jake's doing."
