Sogn Valley Farm
Sogn Valley Farm is a diversified, organic farm located in the beautiful Sogn Valley region in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. The larger farm, on which Sogn Valley Farm is based, was bought by Dana's grandparents Veikko and Phyllis Jokela in 1963. The farm is 360 acres, with about half in cropland and half in a mixture of forest and rolling grassland. For 40 years, Veikko and Phyllis raised row crops, hay, hogs, and cattle (along with four children), before simplifying to just corn and soybeans in their later years. Dana Jokela, the 3rd generation farmer on this land, now grows vegetable crops on a 22-acre parcel of the farm. Learn more about the farm at
