The Annual Harvest Festival 2023

The Annual Harvest Festival is a significant event in our community. It serves as a platform to showcase the dedication and hard work of African immigrant farmers who have made Minnesota their home. These farmers come from diverse backgrounds and have brought with them a wealth of knowledge and unique farming practices, which have significantly enriched the agricultural landscape in our state.

One of the key features of our festival is the celebration of ethnic foods. We believe that ethnic foods are a testament to the rich tapestry of cultures that make up our society. They bring a unique flavor and diversity to Minnesota’s culinary offerings. Through our festival, we aim to promote an understanding and appreciation of the role of ethnic food in the broader agriculture industry. These foods are not only delicious but also play a vital role in diversifying the crops grown in Minnesota and enhancing the sustainability of our food supply.

We strive to demonstrate our commitment to cultural diversity, emerging farming practices, and the promotion of locally sourced, sustainable food.
