“I can help you grow food for your own table,” says Sustainable Dream Greenhouse owner Sally Gehrke. “I sell the seeds and annual plants and specialize in perennial fruits and vegetables that bear year after year. I can also offer any advice you need to begin.”

Advice Sally offers can, not only cut the grocery bill, but eliminate virtually all the waste in transporting foods. Fact: the most wasteful of the “food miles” are put on during the last leg of the food journey, from grower to the consumer’s home.

Early-season offerings:

• annual vegetable seed


• annual plants


• broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi


• complete line of perennial flowers, herbs and food-bearing plants (asparagus, rhubarb, horseradish, Jerusalem artichoke, strawberries, raspberries, grapes; apple, plum and pear trees)


• seed potatoes and onion sets.

Mother’s Day on:

• most other vegetable and herb annuals

Memorial Day on:

• vine crops and eggplants

The Sustainable Dream Greenhouse is located just outside of Whalen, Minnesota on Hwy 16.  The Greenhouse is a member of Lanesboro Local.
