The Minnesota State Fair and the Minnesota Farm Bureau recognize 154 Minnesota farms as 2020 Century Farms. Qualifying farms have been in continuous family ownership for at least 100 years and are 50 acres or more. Century Farm families receive a commemorative sign, as well as a certificate signed by Minnesota State Fair and Minnesota Farm Bureau presidents and Governor Tim Walz.
Since the program began in 1976, more than 10,500 Minnesota farms have been recognized as Century Farms.
2020 Century Farm families are listed by county, then by the farm’s city or township, family or farm names and year of original purchase:
