Raising a Farmer

Raising a Farmer is a rural Minnesota based non-profit organization bridging the gap between rural and urban communities with four core values: Food, Art, Farming, and Community. Raising a Farmer believes food connects us all and is a place where community is formed. 

We gather around food. Food brings us special memories but also food insecurities are very real in our communities. 

Raising a Farmer offers food education, partners with organizations to bridge food insecurities with farm fresh proteins and food demonstrations with simple recipes. 

Our programming ensures art accessibility in a unique setting bringing farm animals to artistic workshops and activities. Our partnerships with local artists creats a unique experience by bringing farm animals and rural life together where art can be created at all skill levels. 

We believe to bring the farm to underserved communities where individuals do not have access to agriculture, farming and rural places. Being physically present in underserved communities bridges the gap between rural and urban by building relationships. 

Raising a Farmer offers rural and farm educational engagements connecting communities in all of their activities. Individuals are wanting and craving to know where their food is raised and produced. Raising a Farmer offers the experience where every question is a good question.  

We are excited for our new partnership with Boys and Girls Club in Central Minnesota that will offer individual experiences for underserved youth in metro areas. 

Your generous donation will be used to give more hands on agriculture experience to youth through workshops, provide additional art/farm animals engagements, expand cooking videos, food demonstrations and provide local grown foods to Minnesotans navigating food insecurities.
