🥩 May is National Beef Month! 🥩
Minnesota is home to thousands of beef farmers and ranchers — and something I love to point out is that so many of them are smaller family farms.
According to the USDA Census of Agriculture, 84% of Minnesota farms with beef cows have fewer than 50 cows, and 94% have fewer than 100. That means much of Minnesota’s beef story is being written by local farms and ranching families across our state.
At Farm Direct Minnesota, I’m proud to help connect shoppers directly with those producers. We currently have 74 Minnesota beef farms listed on the Farm Direct Minnesota directory map!
