About Bear Butte Gardens

Bear Butte Gardens is a small-scale garden and greenhouse business, recently expanded to include a brand new Farm Stand, a commercial kitchen for rent, and a beautiful vacation rental with views of the famous Butte. Owned and operated by Michelle and Rick Grosek, the growing business is located on 120 acres about five miles northeast of Sturgis, South Dakota. Bear Butte Gardens was established in the spring of 2010 and became USDA organic certified on August 6th, 2012.

Bear Butte Gardens is a family-based business with strong connections to our community. Our son, Mike, and our daughter, Veronica, are an integral part of this business. We employ a "Diversified Organic Farm Manager" apprenticeship, certified with the SD Department of Labor. We also utilize the talents of interns from both Sturgis High School and Black Hills State University, as well as paid employees and volunteers. Community involvement and education has always been near to our hearts.

About the Farm Stand

The Farm Stand was dreamed up as an avenue to sell our own produce, meats, and other goods, but also to promote other local growers. Today, you can visit the Farm Stand every Monday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm. Browse a wide variety of seasonal and locally-grown vegetables, fruits, meats, honey, handmade goods, grains, mushrooms, and more!

About "The Cottage at Bear Butte Gardens" Vacation Rental

As part of the new Farm Stand and commercial kitchen, Rick and Michelle decided to provide the opportunity to immerse oneself in the Bear Butte Gardens way of life by also building a brand new vacation rental. This rental, called "The Cottage at Bear Butte Gardens," is available for nightly rent year-round on Airbnb and VRBO. Overnight guests can enjoy breathtaking views of famous Bear Butte, spend time in legendary Sturgis, South Dakota just a few minutes away, and peruse the goods available for sale around the corner at the Farm Stand during business hours.
