Have You Heard About Homegrown Minneapolis?

Homegrown Minneapolis is an initiative to develop recommendations for the City of Minneapolis to improve sales, distribution and consumption of fresh, locally grown foods to positively impact the health, food security, economy and environment of our City and the surrounding region. 

The final report and recommendations were submitted to the Minneapolis City Council on June 26, 2009, where they unanimously passed a Resolution supporting local foods and established a Homegrown Minneapolis Implementation Task Force. Work is underway to establish this Task Force, consisting of representatives from the City and the community, and develop a plan to implement key recommendations from Phase 1 of the initiative. The first meeting of this Task Force will take place in early September 2009. Homegrown Minneapolis will continue to rely on input and participation from community residents and partners – please check back for announcements and opportunities to be involved. Thank you for your continued support!
