The Minnesota Farmers Union has been a fixture at the fair since 1950, educating people about Minnesota’s family farmers. In 2003, it became a coffee shop, and last year the space received a face lift to further their educational mission. Stop by for hot coffee, nitro cold press, frappes and more. While you’re there, check out the new treats for this year: Blueberry Key Lime Pie and Heirloom Tomato and Sweet Corn.
