Community Foods. Community Action!

Posted on September 20th, 2021 by Matt Frank
Join us at Big River Farms for a fun, outdoor volunteer event on Thursday, September 30th from 4:00-7:00 p.m. During the event, connect with BRF farmers and local organizations that build community resilience through food.* 
 
As a follow up to our "Community Resilience, Community Foods" event earlier this summer, this will be a chance to connect with local farmers on a deeper level by helping them clean up their fields for fall. After some hard work, enjoy a local-inspired boxed meal and a fun local produce giveaway. Music provided by DJ Angel, Noche de Gala Productions. Space is limited - register today!
 
 
*Recommended for adults and children 8 years and older. Please wear closed-toed shoes, gloves, dress for the weather, and bring a reusable water bottle.

Big River Farms
Big River Farms, formerly Minnesota Food Association, offers land access and education in organic agriculture for immigrants, refugees, people of color, and others who have historically faced discrimination in accessing farmland, markets, education and other farming support. We provide beginning farmers mentorship and guidance in managing their own 1/8 to 6-acre plots of certified organic land at Big River Farms, our 150-acre incubator farm near Marine on St. Croix, MN. Farmers have a guaranteed market for their produce via the Big River Farms Food Hub, which consists of wholesale contracts, a 200+ member CSA, and farmers markets.
