Carmen’s Journey

Building Our Farm Together

Carmen’s Journey

Hola! My name is Carmen Marshall. I came to Minnesota from Peru to teach Spanish and my culture. I grew up next to the Pacific Ocean, and I had more knowledge of architecture, radio, and TV programming than farming. All that changed when I met Peter in a pumpkin patch. In 1997, I was teaching at an elementary school in Chaska as part of a

Hola! My name is Carmen Marshall. I came to Minnesota from Peru to teach Spanish and my culture. I grew up next to the Pacific Ocean, and I had more knowledge of architecture, radio, and TV programming than farming. All that changed when I met Peter in a pumpkin patch. In 1997, I was teaching at an elementary school in Chaska as part of a cultural exchange program when the child of my host family wanted to pick a pumpkin. The pumpkin patch we visited was Peter’s family's, and I found the best pumpkin in the Marshall's field! Peter and I got married in 1999.

Peter’s Roots

Carmen’s Journey

Hello, I am Peter Marshall. I come from a long line of farmers in the area; my late father, George Marshall, was an early vendor at the Minneapolis Farmers Market. My grandparents used to sell directly to small stores that sold groceries in their local communities.

Building Our Farm Together

After Carmen and I married, we started a small operation in Shakopee that focused on sweet corn, watermelons, and pumpkins. Peter's Pumpkins and Carmen's Corn no longer just sell corn, pumpkins, and watermelon. By 2001, our farm had expanded, and we sold our produce and canning goods at different farmers' markets and at our roadside stand in Shakopee.
