Local, Healthy, Sustainable

The North Circle Online Farmers Market consists of more than twenty small local farmers and producers who are either certified organic or using sustainable farming and production practices.  North Circle farmers want to grow healthy food for our cities and towns located along the western corner of  East-Central Minnesota. This food contains no harmful petro-chemicals, such as synthetic pesticides or fertilizers and does not use not genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Created by the Women’s Environmental Institute in 2016, North Circle offered an online ordering service so that customers could shop from their computers to any of the participating farms and pick up their orders in front of County Market. In 2017, we continued this service and increased the program’s convenience by adding more drop sites and a larger window of time in which to pick up produce. Since then, we’ve expanded into a full-fledged online farmers marketing service and included more farms and more drop sites across the region.  

The North Circle Online Farmers Market, sponsored and administered by the Women’s Environmental Institute, as a nonprofit service to our local community. North Circle brings farm-fresh produce and local value-added products from our farmers to our local communities, while supporting. small-scale family farms. Consumers select a drop site close to where they live.  Consumers can easily get to know the farmers who grow their food, while knowing that the money from sales circulates locally along with the produce.  Why buy organic lettuce from California when it can be grown here? North Circle is an active farmer network with a vision of a future and more self-sustaining regional food system.
