Local Food Resource Hubs

The Local Food Resource Hubs Network supports residents to grow their own fresh produce, helping to ensure greater food security and healthy food access. Hub members are part of neighborhood gardening networks who support each other through the growing season.  By joining, you'll also have access to free or low-cost classes, tools, volunteer opportunities and social events.

Please note: The seedling distributions have already passed (May 18th), so seedlings are no longer part of 2013 Hub memberships. We do still have seeds left, and there are many other benefits of becoming a member and connecting with other gardeners in your neighborhood. Click here to arrange to pick up your seeds from the Gardening Matters office .

To join a Hub, sign up online now! Or, download the printable sign-up form with program information.

Check out the strawberry growing guide and the raspberry growing guide, both from University of MN Extension!
