The Emerging Farmers Conference Celebrates 20th Anniversary
The Emerging Farmers Conference was born out of a 1970s food activist movement. Rapid sector growth and the arrival of new immigrants to Minnesota ignited a collaborative effort by grassroots organizations, community advocates, and state partners to empower farmers with education and training. Over the past twenty years, the conference has grown into a multi-lingual, multicultural space for connection and hands-on learning for emerging farmers and farmers of color.
This year’s conference will be held at the Heritage Center of Brooklyn Center!
The Emerging Farmers Conference is designed with farmers, for farmers.
The Emerging Farmers Conference serves to advance the success and sustainability offarmers who traditionally face barriers to the education and resources necessary to build profitable agricultural businesses, including immigrant farmers and farmers of color.Â
