North East Farm Buds Hub
North Eastern Minnesota is leading the way in sustainable agriculture right now. With every other region experiencing decline in small farming operations, the northeast is experiencing a rise.
To support this rise and to support the incredible community of farmers that are growing their operations we have assigned a specific regional hub director to spearhead Farm Buds trips and projects in this area.
We are hoping to scale this role to other regions around Minnesota so every small farmer in the state has ongoing community support within its region. Want to support this program’s growth?
The North East Region is Growing Fast.

Upcoming Trips
Farm Chores at Sörestad Farm
Sunday, October 18th. 9am-2pm-ish in Duluth, MN
We will be helping out the Sörestad Farm with major end of season farm chores which will be garden and greenhouse clean up. Resetting the most productive and versatile growing spaces on a farm makes a farmer's spring so much more enjoyable by reducing unneeded organic material, microbes, and stress in those areas to make for an open invitation to the sprouting season. This a great opportunity for folks who want to support local food systems and appreciate hands-on projects. This is family friendly event, lunch will be provided and it will happen rain or shine since we will have the cover of the greenhouse!
