ABOUT LAKE ELMO RANCH

Lake Elmo Ranch is a 20 acre property with existing farm buildings in Lake Elmo, Minnesota. As a nod to the history of the farm/ranch, we've chosen the name Lake Elmo Ranch and will base certain elements of the future buildings and design off of the ranch style as well.

We've broken the build into four phases with the hopes of getting things started sooner rather than later. ​

Phase One: Food Hall, Pickleball Courts (indoor & outdoor), Outdoor game area, Karaoke room, Golf Simulator, Large Storage, Bathrooms, & Parking

Phase Two: IVY Venue, a modern barn style venue featuring a silo, windmill & more. Spanning 12,000 sq. ft. of venue, 3,000 sq. ft. of cocktail space, and outdoor ceremony space. We plan for increased sustainability here including rain collection , hobby farm, garden and the introduction of solar power. 

Phase Three: Two Lodges that sleep 20.

Phase Four: Swimming Pool, Locker Rooms, Solar Farm, Rental Farms or Baseball Field

SUSTAINABILITY GOALS

​We plan on becoming "Green Business Member" Certified by focusing our efforts on the following: 

• Use environmentally friendly (reusable, compostable, recyclable)products in at least two of these categories: Paper, including napkins; Cleaning products; Linens, service ware (e.g., cups, plates, containers, cutlery, napkins, straws, condiments).
• Encourage clients to co-locate events with public transportation.
• Use of a green office or facility, including resource reuse and maximum use of post-consumer recycled resources as well as maximum water and energy efficiency. This includes stormwater management if companies have access to the exterior of their buildings or property.
• Provide reusable hot beverage cups and do not serve water in single-use plastic bottles.
• Sort recycling into more than paper and then metal/glass/plastic.
• Use of linens where paper products are typical.
• Only serve certified Fair Trade (preferred) or USDA certified organic coffee, tea, and sugar.
• Signage/ education explaining green efforts.
• Donations of leftover food to food banks or hospitals for flowers.
• Snack service focused on locally available, healthy, minimally processed foods.
• Select food vendors that are local or committed to sustainability.
• Vendor giveaways are sustainable.
• Focus on vegetarian food with limited meat options; meat is sustainably sourced; provide food options for dietary restrictions.
