  • Learn more about industrial hemp, one of Minnesota's most popular emerging crops.
  • Talk to Minnesota Grown farmer-members and pick up your copy of the Minnesota Grown Directory of local farms and farmers markets.
  • Find out more about Minnesota's official state bee – the Rusty Patched Bumblebee – and how to protect it and other pollinators.
