We provide restaurants, buying clubs, co-ops, grocers and institutions with one-stop ordering for top quality foods from nearly 40 regional producers, with products ranging from dairy and vegetables to meats and honey.

"Everything has been so fresh. We want to order as much as possible from the Network.” Tanya Siebenaler, chef/owner of Sapor Café and Bar, Minneapolis

We identify new markets for regional family farms . All network producers work under a set of guiding principles which emphasize sustainability, land stewardship and fair prices.

“All of our members do an outstanding job of producing high quality food while taking care of the land. We help their enterprises become economically viable, thus enabling farmers to stay on the land doing what they do best.” Pam Benike, Board Chair

We provide communities with excellent food choices and a unique opportunity to improve economic vitality.

“Up to $800 million each year leaves our region as local families grow and buy food. Very little of this is money that builds our neighborhood economies. Creating our own regional food system is one way to reduce these losses.”   From “Finding Food in Farm Country,” Hiawatha’s Pantry Project, 2001

Where's the best Beef? We have it! Our grass-fed beef can be custom cut to your needs or you can select from the standard cuts we have on hand.

Our newest regional customer is Rochester Produce. Only open for two months, this retail outlet features locally produced cheeses, meat and produce. If you are looking for healthy, high quality foods, stop in at Rochester Produce and encourage Bruce to continue expanding his line of local products.

Search out locally-grown foods and eat something you'll really love! Check out Jefferson Pub and Grill at 58 Center St in Winona for locally grown, grass-fed beef. Or the Rochester's classic: Michael's Restaurant . Both restaurants serve the healthy and delicious buffalo burger, provided by Buffalo Gal Ranch in Money Creek, MN.

Minneapolis restaurants are featuring Southeast MN Food Network foods on their menus: Lucia's Restaurant is a well-known pioneer in using local foods and preparing wonderful Midwest cuisine. Explore Uptown Minneapolis and enjoy a beautiful dinner with friends at Lucia's. The NE Thyme Cafe, the Modern Cafe and Cafe Barbette are also using locally grown foods in their creative menus.
