Guest: Sarah Goldman, Policy Organizer, Land Stewardship Project; and Stu Lourey, Government Relations Director, Minnesota Farmers Union

“Update on 2022 Minnesota Legislative Session”

By April, we’ll be past the first ‘deadline’ (when active bills need to have been heard in at least one house), so we’ll know a lot more about the state of play. Sarah and Stu will supply us with the current state of affairs and suggest needed strategies.

MFMA provides services, programs, and leadership that support and promote farmers' markets across Minnesota and our Tribal Nations.

We envision a community of vibrant, profitable, and professionally managed Minnesota farmers’ markets that:

Cultivates, nourishes, and inspires a vibrant local foods community;
Provides accessibility to all to local farm fresh foods;
Allows local food producers to thrive and grow;
Ensures these opportunities are available to everyone regardless of ethnicity, age, gender identity, or economic standing.
