Elyssa and Cory

“It feels like the farm has become a hub in the community without us intentionally trying,” she says. “People are drawn to the green space and the work we’re doing.”

Excerpt:

“It’s really important for me to find other female farmers and other queer farmers that I can connect with who get me,” Eull says. “Being in an urban setting makes that a lot easier. I feel like there are a lot of like-minded folks around me.”

Farming remains a male-dominated field, and the average age of a U.S. farmer is 61. Eull says her work differs significantly from traditional agriculture.

“The type of farming I do is so different from what people consider traditional farming in our country,” she says. “It’s not large-scale crop farming. It’s community-based, small-scale vegetable production.”

Through local agriculture organizations such as the Land Stewardship Project and social media platforms like Instagram, Eull has connected with other nontraditional farmers.

“Minnesota is a great state to be a queer farmer,” she says. “There are a lot of people doing similar work, and you’re able to find support and connection.”

Eull recalls an incident from a year or two ago when a Pride flag displayed outside the farm was burned.

“When I showed up, someone had already taken the remains of the flag down, folded it neatly and left a note,” she says. “They wrote that they had ordered a new, fire-resistant flag and explained that they were also a queer urban farmer.”

“I feel like we are very held by our community, and folks love having us here,” Eull continues. “It would be entirely different — and much harder — to find that kind of support in a rural setting. We really feel that love in Minneapolis.”
