The cream of the crop is back. This June, Minnesota Grown kicks off the most abundant time of year and celebrates the first fruits of labor from the 2023 growing season, welcoming the return of farmers' markets across the state and the start of fresh berry season, with strawberries ready for harvest now and blueberries and raspberries coming in July.
Choosing Minnesota Grown products supports the local economy, businesses, and families. In addition, local foods can offer higher quality taste and nutrition – a win-win for everyone. And, with memorable experiences such as pick-your-own berries, consumers can learn more about where their food comes from, get to know their growers, and develop a rich connection with their food system.
"In June, Minnesotans can celebrate the start of another fruitful growing season, with a wide selection of produce and specialty products available at farmers' markets and directly from producers across the state," said Rachel Wandrei, marketing manager for the Department of Agriculture's Minnesota Grown program.
