About fresh roots farm

Flare Pops and 406 fizz are enterprises of Fresh Roots Farm in Polson, Montana.

Fresh Roots Farm is a certified Organic family farm that specializes in berries, flowers, vegetables, and vegetable seed in Polson, Montana. This farm is located on the Flathead Reservation, home to Kootenai, Pend d'Oreille and Salish people. Framed by the Mission Mountains you’ll find owners Karl and Darci with dirt under their nails and deep smiles on their faces working diligently to bring you fresh, local, sustainable, and delicious produce, seeds, Flare Pops, and 406Fizz.

At Fresh Roots Farm we lead with intention and prefer to live slowly opting to do what’s right, over what is quick and easy. This doesn’t mean we’re afraid of a challenge! Since 2014 we have been growing strawberries, a finicky crop prone to disease and sensitive to moisture. These risky, but rewarding crops often yield a lot of “seconds” (produce not up to par for market). In the beginning, we fed hogs with the less pretty fruit. These days, we take a more unique approach. In our commercial kitchen, right here on the farm, we create organic syrups from our fruit and vegetable seconds, giving them new life as frosty Flare Pops and effervescent 406Fizz.

We are dedicated to sustainability and honesty, not only with our products, but our processes and packaging. This includes keeping our operation smaller and more manageable, ensuring a livable wage for all employees, as well as making intentional choices around what to grow, how to make the most of it, and how to best bring it to you.

While the farm is located in Polson, our produce can be found locally at farmers’ markets, grocery stores, festivals, restaurants, and Western MT Growers Cooperative CSA boxes near you.

Find us at Polson Farmers' Market, Whitefish Farmers' Market, Mission Mountain Natural Foods, and Mrs. Wonderful's Marmalade Cafe in Polson, and Western Montana Growers' Cooperative.

From all the folks at Fresh Roots Farm, we look forward to sharing our bounty with you.
