• Sale of Shell Eggs to Grocery Stores & Restaurants in Minnesota.

Each Spring, LSP publishes a directory of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Farms. for eaters in Minnesota and western Wisconsin who are interested in becoming "members" of local, sustainable farming operations.
Stewardship Farm Directory
The Stewardship Farm Directory is a list of LSP member-farmers and retailers offering organic fruits, vegetables, and grains, antibiotic- and hormone-free meats, free-range chickens and eggs, milk and cheese from grass-fed cows, and more. The list also includes food co-ops, restaurants, and food processors that carry products grown by LSP members.
