The following natural foods stores also provide significant financial support to Midwest Food Connection. We thank them for their support of our programs.

• In the summer, both Youth Farm and Farm in the City offer day camps for young people to learn about food and farming.
• The Land Stewardship Project, with offices in different regions of Minnesota, is a rich source of information on local sustainable farming, community supported agriculture, and advocacy issues.
