Local Farmers Grow Community
August 15, 2018At Big River Farms, we are at the peak of our growing season. In this busy time, it’s important to pause and remember that the reason we do all of this is because we want to put people first and to nourish our community.
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.
