2008 will see a significant increase in activity in the following food and agriculture work areas at the Rural Enterprise Center:
- Poultry Operation: We will expand the growers network for our Southern Minnesota free range chicken brand “Pollo de Campo” (Free Range Chicken).
- The Northfield community garden will expand to 100 plots to include up to 75 families
- We will support the development of a community garden in Red Wing and the Morristown area west of Faribault.
- New market gardeners will be launched
- A regional new Latino farmers support system will be deployed to serve new areas where Latino/a leadership is found.
We look forward to engaging our existing partners and to finding new partners and networks of supporters to connect with.
