About The Good Acre (Good Acre)
The Good Acre is a Saint Paul–based nonprofit food hub that connects local farmers and food makers with markets, technical assistance, and community buyers to build a more equitable, resilient regional food system. The organization operates a wholesale distribution program, a CSA for consumers, grower support services, and producer-focused initiatives designed to improve farm viability. In recent years The Good Acre has expanded market access and farmer supports while reporting strong program growth: in its 2024 fiscal year it reported approximately $2.8M in revenue, and its public materials cite 2025 impact figures including roughly $2.9M in total food sales and partnerships with nearly 100 producers, a majority of whom identify as farmers of color, immigrants, or first-generation Minnesotans. Current programs highlighted on the organization’s site include LEAFF, Grower Support services, a Produce Grading Guide, wholesale buyer programming, and multiple CSA offerings for home cooks and community members.
