Hi…

..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!

Locally grown in winter? You bet! Look for local products at your mom and pop grocery store, food co-ops or specialty stores and make connections with growers during the Farmers Market season inquiring if they have products available in the off season. We made a connection with one grower who raises cherry tomatoes under grow lights through the winter.
