We are a farmer to farmer network.

That is our main goal.

And our mission is to transform agriculture, one farm at a time.

I'm Julie Allen, I'm the director of Harvest Fest and the manager of the Lake Superior Sustainable Farming Association.

In the Lake Superior region, we've been working for 32 years and more to build up our local food system.

They're great for bringing the farmers together.

A lot of people I wouldn't have even, I don't think I would have had an opportunity to meet if it wasn't through them.

So we are a member driven organization, grassroots nonprofit.

We welcome members to support our work and be involved in our annual events.

So the mission of the Duluth Community Garden program is to provide land, tools and infrastructure for folks of the Duluth community to grow with one another.

There's a lot of farms here that I don't see very often, and it's nice, you know, I can get out kind of at the beginning and and take a break and walk around and just like, connect with the other farmers and see, get ideas and see some of the stuff that other people are doing.

We are hosting our, our annual fundraiser called Farmers Take the Stage.

So it's like a talent show.

It's very fun.

This year's happening November 5th at Russo's Concert Cafe.

I love being here.

Seeing people coming in, hearing that it's their favorite event at Bayfront.

They look forward to it every year because they get to connect with their local farmers, their local artists and crafters, their local organizations who are working to make our our Duluth, our region, a better place to live.
