A Decade of Growing Together
Ten years ago, Grow North began with a simple vision: to cultivate a thriving community of food and agriculture entrepreneurs and businesses right here in our home state of Minnesota. Today, Naturally Minnesota celebrates the incredible growth, innovation, and connections that have flourished over the past decade—all thanks to the passionate individuals and companies who make up our community.
Watch our journey:
From grassroots beginnings to a movement that's shaping the future of the food, agriculture, and natural products industry in Minnesota.
This isn’t just about raising money. It’s about showing up together: planting roots, growing stronger, and proving that Minnesota’s food, ag, and natural products community thrives when it invests in its own future.
Introducing: Root For Good
As we look ahead to the next decade, we're launching an ambitious community campaign to ensure Naturally Minnesota continues to grow strong roots for years to come.
$100,000
Root for Good is powered by our community—founders, industry professionals, service providers, and champions of the food, ag, and natural products across Minnesota and beyond.
We're inviting individual donors to join us with contributions from $50 to $1,000. Every gift, regardless of size, helps us continue providing the resources, connections, and support that make our community thrive. With YOUR support, we will meet our goal of raising $100,000. Join us!
Together, we'll plant the seeds for another decade of growth, innovation, and impact.
