Where Prairie Meets Woodland

We’re proud to live in farm country — and while our fields of corn and soybeans are a vital part of our story, they’re only the beginning. Step off the beaten path and discover sprawling prairie lands, peaceful woodlands, and towering oaks that have stood for generations. Albert Lea is home to some of Minnesota’s most diverse ecosystems, all within a short drive (or bike ride) of downtown.
