Description
The Iron Range of Minnesota is known for mining, and, before that for logging. But its forgotten history of food self-sufficiency, both by its indigenous population and its more recent immigrants, is deeply buried. This project put in place a three-part "Grown on the Range" effort with these focus areas: 1) a robust eat-and-grow-local campaign, expanded to “Arrowhead Grown” to more fully encompass the region, 2) an Iron Range Local Food Trail tourism attraction, and, 3) a regular newspaper column highlighting past and current regional farming and food production.
This project is putting the Iron Range and all of Northeast Minnesota back on the track towards food self-sufficiency with all of the economic and health benefits that will bring.
