Interviews and site visits with farms and businesses, supplemented with secondary data, describe how food moves from farms to consumers in 15 food supply chains.

The cases highlight differences in prices and the distribution of revenues among supply chain participants, local retention of wages and proprietor income, transportation fuel use, and social capital creation.Item Item Minnesota Farmers Market Price Report(2024-04-01) Pesch, Ryan; Peterson, Hikaru; Nowak, JosephThis report provides a summary of price data collected at 68 farmers markets in Minnesota during the 2023 season for six commonly-sold products: cucumbers, tomatoes, green bell peppers, sweet corn, honey, and eggs.
