2010 Minnesota Grown Directory promotes local food
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is once again making it easier for consumers to buy local. Its updated 2010 Minnesota Grown Directory is now available.
The new edition of the printed and online guide has a record 840 listings.
MDA Agriculture Marketing Specialist Brian Erickson says it's easily the state's most comprehensive guide to local foods. It lists 120 farmers' markets, 107 apple orchards and 58 community-supported agriculture farms, along with berry patches, garden centers and other places to purchase products directly from farmers.
The printed directory can be ordered free from Explore Minnesota Tourism at 1-888-TOURISM (1-888-868-7476). The directory is also searchable online at http:www.minnesotagrown.com.
