Minnesota’s autumn is an opportune time to enjoy local foods and fun on the farm. Picking fresh apples, finding the perfect pumpkin, and exploring a crop maze are a few ideas. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) encourages families to take advantage of the beautiful fall season and visit one of Minnesota’s many farms. The popular Minnesota Grown Directory is a great resource to help plan a visit. It highlights family friendly activities and convenient contact information for local farms across the state, all in one place. Farmer Peggy Bronk of The Great Pumpkin Patch said, “Our pumpkins are just beautiful this year.” The Great Pumpkin Patch is a family owned and operated farm near Winona, Minnesota. Bronk sees many families annually; building fall memories and traditions to last a lifetime. “It’s a very good family activity. Everyone can get outdoors, plus the kids can get their hands in the dirt and have a little fun.” The Minnesota Grown Directory lists 1,027 farms statewide. The free Minnesota Grown Directory is available online at www.minnesotagrown.com or by phone at 1-800-657-3878 FREE.
