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.

Upcoming Events
Native Seed Workshops with MN SEED Project
This fall and winter, join Twin Cities Metro Growers Network and MN SEED Project for a workshop series that will teach you how to collect, clean and sow native seeds to grow your own beautiful and beneficial native landscapes. Growing native plants on your farm and garden attracts beneficial insects that help crops thrive. By creating more spaces for Minnesota native plants, anyone can support healthy ecosystems across our landscapes. Attend any or all three events!
Funded by Twin Cities Urban Agriculture microgrant from Renewing the Countryside and FSA/USDA.
