Minneapolis
Also known as: Minneapolis, MN, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Twin Cities
Minnesota's largest city (~430,000), at St. Anthony Falls on the Upper Mississippi. Originally Dakota and Anishinaabe territory; site of one of the densest U.S. food-cooperative networks (the 'Co-op Wars' era of the 1970s seeded a network that includes the Wedge, Linden Hills, Seward, Eastside, and others). The directory's Minneapolis anchor is Wedge Community Co-ops — Wedge Lyndale (1974), Linden Hills (1976), and the Co-op Partners Warehouse (the upper-Midwest's principal organic distributor).
What this is
Minneapolis sits at St. Anthony Falls on the Upper Mississippi — Dakota and Anishinaabe territory — incorporated 1867 around the milling industry that the falls powered. The city‘s contemporary identity holds layers of food-cooperative organizing (the 1970s Twin Cities “Co-op Wars” produced one of the densest food-coop networks in the U.S.), Native-led food-sovereignty work (Dream of Wild Health, Indigenous Food Lab), and substantial independent natural-foods retail.
