Central Minnesota Vegetable Growers Association

The Central Minnesota Vegetable Growers Association is a member-based, nonprofit association with over 150 members. Our members directly market their fruits, vegetables and farmstead products to consumers at the Minneapolis Farmers Market. The CMVGA manages, educates and assists in improving production methods and direct-marketing strategies for its members through related partnerships with the University of Minnesota, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and the Minnesota Grown Promotional Board. The CMVGA members use a wide variety of sustainable growing practices spanning from greenhouse and hydroponics, to fields of fruits and vegetables along with improved practices for the production of farmstead goods. The CMVGA is dedicated to the success of its farmers markets, the future of small farms and agriculture, and most importantly, providing quality to customers.
