..and welcome from The Local Growers.
Here you will find the stories about those individuals who grow food and make products locally.
These are some of the people I’ve met while looking for good foods - locally grown foods.
I know their journey. It’s one I experienced growing up on our family farm in West Central Minnesota. That farm was diversified. In other words, we raised several things - crops, hogs, dairy and chickens.
Our meals featured the garden produce my mom harvested, canned and froze and the meat, eggs and dairy products we raised.
It was wholesome food!
While I don’t live on that farm anymore, I am always on the search for locally grown foods. I invite you to join me in this great journey.
Let’s go!

Noreen Thomas and her furry friend live near Moorhead, MN on a certified organic farm. Noreen and her husband, Lee, raise organic crops and have added value to their crops by selling items like oat groats, pearled barley, rolled oats and more on their website’s online store. doubtingthomasfarm.com.
The conversation flowed as we sipped local wines, enjoyed local meats and cheeses for appetizers, relished the entrees of roasted vegetables and grilled spareribs and savored desserts of peach pie and rhubarb torte. There’s nothing like a Locally Grown Meal shared with friends.
