I hope we can see you in the ecosystem of the cooperative, benefitting and participating in what we create for Minnesota.

We engage as human beings first.
Americans put a lot of energy and political investment into an inflated capitalist system that is only a sliver of how our communities work.
There are significant gaps in capitalizing and sustaining farmers in my community, and a co-op structure helps fill the huge gap.
