SUPERIOR GROWN AND SUSTAINABILITY

Superior Grown works to balance and meet three long-term objectives simultaneously:

• Sustainable environmental practices work to enhance finite soil, water, air, wildlife, and other natural resources on our farmlands in Northeastern MN and Northwestern WI
  
  

• Sustainable economic practices work to build profitability for our farmers, paying them more of the food dollar, and for our businesses committed to working with regional products, keeping more of the food dollar within the local economy;
  
  

• Sustainable social practices work to enhance the quality of life for farmers, citizens of our service area, and our region as a whole, satisfying personal, family, and community needs for health, safety, food, and happiness.
  
  

For Superior Grown, the most sustainable choice occurs when the net effect of our work enhances and brings together all three goals. We recognize that sustainable farming and food practices will vary for every farm, business, and community within our region. Hence, Superior Grown works to preserve management options most appropriate for individual situations while focusing project goals in ways that assure progress towards sustainable development ideas of strengthening and promoting environmental, economic and social capital.
