Minnesota Food Association’s newest program is Big River Foods, a unique distribution service, delivering product that is fresh, local, and honest.
What is Our Mission?
- Help new immigrant and aspiring farmers
- Support our local economy
- Advocate for good environmental decisions
- Promote healthy social change to our regional food system
What Do We Want To Do?
- We want to eliminate language and cultural barrier for farmers wanting to find more markets, acting as a mediator between the buyer and the farmer.
- We also want to create a relationship between the buyer and farmer, telling the story about who grows the food we eat.
- We want to help train new farmers in producing healthy product that’s grown for the market.
- We want to stimulate the local economy, keeping our money in our community.
- We want to provide a quality, consistent product.
- We want to play our part in relocalizing our area’s food system—eliminating problems caused by industrial farming.
