Meet the White Oaks Farm Families
David WashburN
Co-Founder
A lifelong entrepreneur, David inherited his love of farming from his grandfather, a gentleman farmer and owner of Juneway Farm in Dellwood. Thirty years ago, David and his wife Meg were pioneers in the Twin Cities’ farm-to-table movement, growing organic produce for fine restaurants on the White Oaks Farm property. Equally passionate about architecture and landscape design, David is the co-developer and co-founder of White Oaks Savanna, an architecture-driven community with 30 homes on 200 acres of restored prairie.
