Big River Farms CSA Supports Local Farmers
March 6, 2018As a Big River Farms CSA member, you ensure that farmers of color in our community have access to a guaranteed market for their product so that they can focus on growing tasty and healthy food. In return, these farmers work extra hard to provide you with weekly deliveries of certified organic produce grown right here in the greater metro area.
Client Story
Our neighbors need your support. Across Minnesota, one in five families with children experience hunger. Jake visits his neighborhood food shelf each month, finding the nutritious food his family needs to face life’s challenges. When you support The Food Group, you are stocking local food shelves with fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean meats our neighbors need to thrive.
