Twin Cities Metro Growers Network
What's the Twin Cities Metro Growers Network?
We bring together growers in and around the Twin Cities who grow production-scale fruits, vegetables and other specialty crops and who seek to share knowledge, networking and collaboration. We organize farm tours, learning events and social meet-ups. Whether you grow for market, personal or community use, or want to learn what’s growing in your neighborhood, this group is for you!
The Twin Cities Metro Growers Network is a networking group of the Sustainable Farming Association, and is coordinated in collaboration with the University of Minnesota Extension in Hennepin County.

We want to hear from you!
To help shape our events and program offerings in 2026 and beyond, we want to hear about how you grow, your educational interests, and goals for the future.
Farmers, gardeners, ag service providers, and supportive community members are encouraged to complete the survey. Even if you haven't come to an event yet, your feedback is valuable!
After completing the survey, you will be offered the opportunity to enter into a drawing to win one of three $50 Visa gift cards.
