Wildrose Farm Earns 1999 Governor's Award

Wildrose Farm has been selected as a recipient of the 1999 Governor's Award for Excellence in Waste and Pollution Prevention. Wildrose Farm was one of five award recipients chosen from a large pool of outstanding candidates to serve as a model of pollution and waste prevention for Minnesota companies and organizations.

Our Objectives

The objective of Wildrose Farm is to produce and sell quality environmentally sound products in a safe and clean setting, and recycle all of the manufacturing by-products. In its sixth year of operation, this family-run business is involved in custom sewing, woodworking, and organic gardening. The use of organic cotton, grown without agricultural chemicals, for a line of clothing manufactured on-site and sold nation-wide, and the sustainable harvest and planting of timber for buildings and projects are the companies main concerns.

Wildrose Farm uses 100% of its by-product fabric scrap in two ways. The larger pieces are woven into rugs, and the smaller pieces are made into paper. The rugs are of heirloon quality destined for long-term use. Paper made from organic cotton is of archival quality and no toxic waste is generated from its manufacture.

The sewing studio is heated with an in-floor hot water system and shares a furnace with the farm house and office, resulting in a 75% savings in fuel. Non-toxic water based inks are used to screen print designs on the clothing. Special employee benefits include Make-Your-Own-Clothing Days with free fabric, and discounts on organic healthcare items and environmentally safe cleaning products. Wildrose Farm also reaches out to the community in a program that uses recycled metal and glass to make buttons and furniture hardware.

Wildrose Farm's goal is to use the most environmentally sound resources available, manufacture them into quality products in a safe and clean setting, and discharge no toxins from the process. This has been fulfilled by the constant dedication this family has for their growing business.
