Farm Direct Minnesota Sponsors & Farm Resource Partners

Farm Direct Minnesota is a statewide platform connecting Minnesota farmers directly with customers seeking real, local food.

Since May 2020, our mission has been to strengthen Minnesota’s local food system, support family farms, and help more people find farm-direct food, products, markets, and resources across the state.

Our sponsors and partners help keep that mission growing.

Farm Resource Partners

Farm Resource Partners are mission-aligned organizations that directly support Minnesota farmers, ranchers, local food producers, farm education, conservation, rural communities, or the farm-direct food system.

Founding Nonprofit Partner

Minnesota Grazing Lands Conservation Association

Farm Direct Minnesota is proud to recognize the Minnesota Grazing Lands Conservation Association as our first Founding Nonprofit Partner.

The Minnesota Grazing Lands Conservation Association supports farmers and ranchers across Minnesota through producer education, field days, and grazing resources that strengthen profitable, sustainable grazing systems. MNGLCA coordinates 20+ educational events annually and connects producers with the tools, mentorship, and conservation programs that help grazing lands and livestock operations thrive.

"We at MNGLCA believe good grazing builds a healthy future — for the land, the farmer, and the generations that follow," shares Leah Matzke, MNGLCA Events & Communications Coordinator.
