Twin Cities Metro Growers Network
What's a Growers Network?
A Networking Group of the Sustainable Farming Association, the Twin Cities Metro Growers Network aims to connect anyone who grows produce seriously and seeks education, networking and fellowship. Whether you grow for market, personal or community use, or to rediscover indigenous and ethnic roots, if you want to network with like-minded people in the metro, this group is for you.
The Twin Cities Metro Growers Network is a collaboration between SFA and the University of Minnesota Extension.
