Buy local!
Support your local farmers and help build a local food infrastructure. Nine farmers’ markets in Minnesota are offering food hub services to connect farmers with buyers in their communities.
What’s a food hub?
Good question!
- Food hubs bring together product from multiple farmers and offer it to larger-scale buyers.
- Farmers who don’t have enough time or product to reach larger markets on their own can sell through a food hub.
- Buyers who can’t deal with separate accounts for multiple farmers can buy local through a food hub.
