The Minnesota Foundation for Agriculture holds events throughout the year to raise funds to support its mission and outreach efforts.
Events are open to everyone, and a fun way to show your support for agriculture and awareness programming across the state.
This evening is designed to cultivate and recognize the rich history of farmers, organizations, businesses, and communities that support the success of agriculture across the state. This event continues to grow each year almost hitting 400 in 2025!
For more than 25 years, the Minnesota Foundation for Agriculture has grilled pork chops as one of their annual fundraising events. The "Farmfest Pork Chop Stand" has been a place of gathering for Farm Bureau members, decision makers, public officials, and attendees to network and enjoy a perfectly grilled pork chop. All funds raised during this event go to support the programs of the Minnesota Foundation for Agriculture. You can find us at the "Farm Bureau Hub" on the showgrounds.
During the Minnesota Farm Bureau Annual Meeting Farm Bureau members and guests are invited to participate in an evening of fundraising and networking following the annual awards banquet on Friday evening. At the Give & Gather event participants will enjoy a live auction, raffles & prizes and surprise activities.
