Cream of the Crop Awards

The Minnesota Grown Cream of the Crop Awards are a partnership between Minnesota Grown and the Minnesota Farm to School Leadership Team. It celebrates schools and early care centers that go above and beyond to connect kids with Minnesota-grown food. From serving local foods in meals to creating farm connections and food education opportunities, these awards recognize the many ways communities support Minnesota farmers and help kids learn where their food comes from. The program has connected consumers with local farmers, farmers’ markets, and other producers of agricultural products for over 40 years!
