Dobbins Creek Farm
Dobbins Creek Farm is owned by Richard and Margaret Andree Family. They raise two children, Catrina
and Dawson who help with various projects around the family farm. Over the years, they have sold at
various farmers markets and craft shows. Many people may recognize the family in Austin or
Brownsdale as Margaret was the former market manager for both markets. As a matter of fact,
Margaret started the Brownsdale, Garden Spot Market back in 2015.
When she sold her baked goods at the Austin market, she was known for her apple pies and other
various fruit pies where the fruits were grown on their farm, 3 miles south of Brownsdale. In 2015,
Margaret was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, which force her to change her diet to a gluten free diet.
Thus, this changed her way of cooking and baking for the markets and at home. As of November 2020,
she was put on the FodMap diet which includes many other changes in foods that she is spending her
winter of 2021 to create a whole new baking form. Margaret plans to continue to sell gluten free pies,
crisps, monster cookies with her canned products such as salsas, dill pickles, spicy beans, and jams. As
Margaret explores new baking for the 2021 season, be on the look out for newer products to try. She
does have her Food Safety Managers license with the Minnesota Cottage Law Producers registration.
The Andree’s kitchen is mainly a gluten free zone where if one has Celiac’s, there is not a thing to worry
when it comes to cross-contamination as most of the cooking and baking is gluten free.
