July 17
9:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Real Food Minnesota is a free event with a practical focus. For those with a new interest in learning about the food you buy and eat, we hope to unveil the mysteries of selecting and preparing healthy, delicious, and ethically-produced “real” food. Already comfortable in co-ops and your kitchen? Come hear about new ways to learn about food via the web, emerging sources of local ingredients year-round, and some of the great food communities being built throughout the Twin Cities. There will be:
- Guided tours of the St. Paul Farmers Market with tips on how to buy fresh ingredients
- Food prep demos with experienced chefs
- Discussions led by folks doing cool things in the local food scene (topics include urban farming, the ethics of eating, and more)
- Opportunity to chat with other curious and enthusiastic eaters, and to learn about ways to get more involved with our local food system
Join us for the day, or come and go for the session(s) you are interested in. No experience necessary…just come hungry to learn!

This Monday, a few of the Minnesota food faithful trudged through the snow to talk about a potential unconference on food. What kind of food? Well, that was one of the items up for discussion, but the general idea was that we wanted to talk about the groundswell of interest and activity in the area of food that is among other things, organic, locally grown, and lovingly made.
