Commercial Building Project
Waldoch Farm | Farm Market & Agricultural Storage Building
Lino Lakes, Minnesota
Project Overview:
Built in 2023, this custom post-frame building for Waldoch Farm Inc. was designed to support both agricultural operations and visitor-facing experiences. Located on a working farm that welcomes the public, the building blends functional storage and workspace with a more approachable, customer-friendly front area.
This dual-purpose design allows the space to serve day-to-day operational needs while also creating a comfortable environment for guests, whether stopping by for seasonal activities, farm experiences, or retail offerings.
The Building:
This 60’ x 104’ x 20’ post-frame building features a gable roof design and is engineered for durability, efficiency, and long-term performance.
The exterior pairs white steel wall panels with a bold red roof and coordinated trim for a clean, classic farm aesthetic that aligns with the surrounding property. Large overhead doors provide easy access for equipment and materials, while windows introduce natural light into interior work areas.
As a full turnkey project, Walters Buildings completed the structure with insulation, concrete flooring, overhead doors, and integrated HVAC and plumbing systems, all supporting both operational functionality and a more comfortable interior environment for staff and visitors alike.
Custom Features:
- Dual-Purpose Layout: Designed to support both agricultural operations and visitor-facing use within a single structure
- Building Size: 60’ x 104’ x 20’ layout accommodates equipment storage, workspace, and flexible front-of-building use
- Full Turnkey Construction: Includes insulation, concrete flooring, overhead doors, HVAC, and plumbing for a fully finished facility
- Expanded Access: Multiple large overhead doors allow for efficient equipment movement and operational flow
- Covered Porch & Entry: Extended covered area creates a welcoming, shaded space for guests while providing weather protection
- Cedar Post & Truss Accents: Natural wood elements add warmth and character, enhancing the building’s public-facing appeal
- Natural Light Integration: Windows positioned to bring daylight into both work and gathering areas
