As the days get longer we’re officially in 'spring-forward' mode at Graze! From a fresh lineup of co-op pop-ups to laying the groundwork for our upcoming Annual Meeting, it’s a season of growth and transition and we’re so glad to have you along with us!

Mark your calendars for the Graze Annual Member Meeting - April 22 at 6pm! This is our most important gathering of the year—a time to celebrate our milestones, review our impact, and look toward the future. More details coming soon!

🌟 Co-op Pop-up Vendors

We’re excited to welcome local artisans, bakers, and makers for co-op pop-ups! Here’s who you can find popping up at Graze in February and March!

Saturday, February 28: YULA [formerly Herbal Beauty] 🧴
Beauty products made with 100% natural ingredients—always high-quality, fair trade, organic, and sustainably sourced.
Saturday, March 7: The Crust & Crumb Cottage 🍞
Nestled in the heart of Mankato, their small, artisan bakery is all about creating wholesome, handcrafted sourdough bread with love and care.

☀️ Spring Refresh

We’re currently giving Graze a bit of a glow-up, rearranging and refreshing displays to make your shopping experience even better! These changes are all about putting our local makers front and center—giving the incredible products from our neighbors the spotlight they deserve.

🌽 Celebrate National CSA Week!

Buying a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share from a local farm is a great way to support local farmers while bringing home fresh, high-quality foods. Many farms in our community offer CSAs - offering everything from fruits to vegetables to fresh cut flowers. Visit the Minnesota Grown website to learn more about participating in a CSA and how to sign up!
