On Thursday, July 21, the Experiment in Rural Cooperation (University of Minnesota SE Regional Sustainable Development Partnership) will host a panel of project leaders from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa who have been working to expand the capacity of local farmers to grow, produce and sell food in their own regions. Come hear the stories of these local food pioneers, participate in small group discussions, and network with your neighbors to be part of the movement to strengthen the regional food system of Southeast Minnesota.
