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!

Chef Leon prepared Eggs Benedict for our latest Locally Grown Meal. The eggs came from Alison Nyberg’s farm and the ham from Haffner Family Farm. Millerville Co-op Creamery butter was used in the hollandaise. A great meal!
