The Sowing Room

The Sowing Room began as a newsletter and website.

Through outreach, connections and conversations, it has emerged as a grassroots organization that supports projects, programs and initiatives designed to create social cohesion and a sense of belonging for all who live in and those yet to discover North Central Minnesota.

Established as a 501(c)3 in 2024 after seven years of development, that included extensive community outreach, intense learning, and a realistic look at our own biases and worldviews that shape our place in community.  

MISSION 

Provide spaces and places that create opportunities and pathways for under-represented individuals and cultural communities in rural places.

VISION 

Break down barriers for under-represented people in rural places to allow authentic connection and participation in their chosen communities.
