Local Minnesota Chicken
- Our Minnesota Grown Directory has 66 local chicken producers.
- The Directory includes organic, free range and conventional chicken producers
- Many of our local chicken producers offer whole or cut up chicken for purchase.
- Minnesota chicken producers raised almost 44 million birds, ranking tenth nationally.
- The chicken industry employs over 1,600 people in Minnesota and brings $86 million to the state annually.
- A great way to buy local chicken is to purchase a share in a Community Supported Agriculture Farm (CSA Farm) that supplies chicken. While most CSA Farms are based on fresh produce, a small but growing number of farmers are using the CSA model to supply meat!
