Summer is the perfect time for adventures, and you don’t have to go far to find opportunities to make some lasting memories. Since 2011, the Eat Local Co-op Farm Tour has been connecting co-op shoppers to the farmers at the heart of our local food system. After a hiatus last year, the tour is back with an updated format, including new featured farms in addition to longtime favorites. On Saturday, July 13 from 10 am – 4 pm, 16 farms in the Twin Cities, eastern Minnesota, and western Wisconsin will open to the public for a free day of fun and learning at the farm!

The Co-op Farm Tour is brought to you by these local community-owned food co-ops  who believe that supporting our local growers is vital to strengthening our community, environment, and local food system.
