Groups

MISA operates several e-mail groups as a service to Minnesota's sustainable agriculture community. Anyone may join these groups, and there are no fees. Proper online group etiquette ("Netiquette") is expected and will be enforced at the discretion of the group administrator.

Our colleagues at the U of MN administer additional groups that relate to sustainable agriculture, and we provide information about those here as well.
