National Farmers' Market Week Celebration 

August 8, 2024 | Duluth

A grand time was had by all as Duluth's Lincoln Park Farmers Market hosted our statewide celebration of National Farmers' Market Week on Thursday, August 8, 2024 from 3-6pm, at the Harrison Community Center. Kudos to LPFM's management team of Sam Lindblad & Kayla Pridmore - excellent service to your community!


Thank you to our special guests:

Many thanks to Duluth Grill for preparing & serving the free Community Meal. Food for the Community Meal was purchased from area farmers, through MDA's Local Food Purchase Assistance Program grant that Community Action Duluth received.  


And special shout out to our wonderful partners who join MFMA for this annual celebration of Minnesota's phenomenal local foodshed!

Lack of crop insurance for produce farmers impacts many farmers' market vendors. The Star Tribune ran an article that highlighted how this year's flooding exposed the inequity in the USDA's crop insurance programs. MFMA contributed data from USDA, farmers, and results from two grant projects to the story.


Food sampling! Changes to MN's "safe food sampling at farmers' markets" law (M.S. 28A.151) went into effect May 25, 2024. Go here for the updated fact sheet.
