As a non-profit organization, Farmamerica relies on your donation to help share the important story of Minnesota agriculture.

Farmamerica is a 501(c)(3) non-profit with the mission of connecting all Minnesotans to the evolving story of agriculture. With less than 2 percent of Minnesotan’s living on farms today, there is a growing disconnect in the understanding about where our fuel, food, and fiber products come from. Agriculture has greatly changed since the founding of Minnesota, so at Farmamerica we show how agriculture has progressed, with our 1850s homestead, 1930s dairy farm, and our active farmland today. 

Your donations help us continue to share this story with all Minnesotans. Our historic sites require consistent maintenance and our new Ag Around You Discovery Center (funded by the Capital Campaign) lets us show how agriculture enters your home. Your donations also allow us to host family-friendly events at reasonable costs to allow everyone to experience Farmamerica.

Farmamerica occasionally accepts antiques or other display donations to add to our collection. Before any such donation is accepted, Farmamerica’s Collection Committee reviews the submission to see if the new display item helps us meet our mission, tells a unique part of the agriculture story, and if we have space to store and display the item adequately. 

If you have an item you would like the Collections Committee to review for possible donation to Farmamerica, please send a picture and description of the item including what era it was from, how you acquired the item, its significance to the evolving story of agriculture and the care/storage needs of the item to info@farmamerica.org. The Collections Committee will be in touch with you about the item. 

Please do not bring your item directly to Farmamerica. No Antique or Display Donations will be accepted immediately on-site.
