We’re doing a little happy dance at Big Raven Farm—Minnesota Monthly featured us not once, but twice in their 2025 Mother’s Day Gift Guide! We’re so honored to be recognized for the things we love most: creating space for rest, inspiration, and meaningful gifts.
So what caught their eye?
🧘♀️ Our Transformational Yoga Retreats
Designed to help you (or your mom!) slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what matters most. Our retreats combine nourishing movement, artful expression, delicious meals, and deep rest—all in the magical setting of our Driftless-area farm. It’s the perfect gift for anyone who needs a little more “ahhhh” in their life.
🖼️ Our Artist-Designed Yoga Mats
We were thrilled to see one of our favorite mats featured—the vibrant, joy-filled design by guest artist Angie Bryant. Angie’s artwork radiates optimism and creativity, making it the perfect companion for daily practice or as a piece of functional art. Each mat in our collection is a collaboration with a working artist who earns commission when their designs are sold. It’s a gift that supports creativity on all sides—yours and theirs.
Why This Means So Much
Being featured by Minnesota Monthly is more than a nice moment (though we’ll definitely take it!). It’s a powerful affirmation of our mission: to uplift, inspire, and care for people through art, wellness, and community.
It also shines a spotlight on the incredible artists we collaborate with—like Angie Bryant—who make our mats so much more than just yoga gear. They’re expressions of soul and self, rolled up and ready to meet you on the mat.
