Who should use the Wholesale Directory?
Local food sourcing can build excitement and drive sales at your food service establishment--from a school cafeteria to a local restaurant. Our members operate at a variety of sizes and in a diverse range of product categories, so you can find producers that can fit your specific needs.
Retailers like grocery stores, co-ops, and even specialty stores play an important role connecting our producers to consumers. Use our Wholesale Directory increase and diversify the Minnesota Grown products you carry. We also have resources to help you promote, from shelf-talkers to our Retailer of the Year contest!
Finding locally grown ingredients for your food product has never been easier! Whether you’re making salsa, granola, or craft beer, adding Minnesota Grown ingredients can set your brand apart and add value to your marketing strategy. Your product may even be eligible for our labeling license.
Learning more about our member producers can introduce you to new vendors to add to your own product list for wholesale buyers. Currently, only Minnesota Grown members are listed in our Wholesale Directory, but we welcome feedback about how we can support distributors in making local food connections.
