OUR PRODUCERS

We’re pleased to offer an ever-growing selection of locally produced goods for your family! Fresh from the farmer, direct to your table.

LOCAL PRODUCE

The Good Earth Food Co-op defines one of the P6 criteria of “local” as anything grown within Minnesota and the surrounding states (this includes Wisconsin and Iowa). All produce needs to be labeled with the state, town, and farm in which it was produced. Our customers want to know! Below is a list of the local farmers we use and what they supply us with.

P6 PRODUCERS

(Principle 6) is a national cooperative movement to build a fair food economy.
P6 makes it easy to shop your values by supporting small, local, (Minnesota and our surrounding states) and cooperative producers.

MEET OUR LOCAL FARMERS

When was the last time you bought something from the grocery store and knew the name of the people who grew it?

Local organic food is a large part of what we do here at the Coop. We take pride in developing great relationships with our farmers and are constantly on the lookout for new organic farmers to provide the quality food our customers are looking for. Our farmers are passionate about quality food and the land that sustains it. The high quality, organic, and non-GMO produce, dairy, meat, and other products are a testament to their dedication to promoting a healthy lifestyle and community.
