OMPA Outdoors
A network of outdoor gardens, farms, and acreage committed to providing and growing safe spaces for events, education, and ecology. We range in size from backyard lawns to acres of farmland, and everything in between. Check out some of our spaces and places below, and consider coming for a visit soon!
01
WildHaven
WildHaven joined the OMPA concept in 2020 during the summer of the Covid pandemic. These 12 acres are where we host our events: Whiskey in the Woods & OktoBRRfest. Towering trees, multiple firepits, walking trails, an abundance of nature, and a temple - like atmosphere bring a touch of the unworldly to earth in one of our favorite places to camp and relax.
02
Historic Headquarters
Nestled in White Bear Lake, MN, this historic home was one of the first built in the area over 100 years ago.
We are teaming up with historic preservationists to bring the farm back to a smaller working and teaching version of what it used to be. Here, you will find a small barn complete with animal friends, sustainable small garden examples, a small cafe version of our family food truck, and a storefront for the various products created within the OMPA collective. We hope to offer small educational tours to schools and groups looking to learn about sustainable gardening in suburban spaces as well as be a safe and sustainable space for our collectives community outreach to base from.
