About the farm
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.
