Got something to announce to the 500-1,000 people per day who visit Locally Grown? Read on. While we’re primarily an issues-oriented blog, we also keep connected to the Northfield community…
A year ago, we launched our Locally Grown Membership plan. We’ve not done much to promote it but as you can see from the left sidebar (archived Category here), members…
I got this email from Sandy Vesledahl recently. She and Kathy Jasnoch have been using their Locally Grown membership to post regular updates about Prairie’s Edge Humane Society (PEHS) to our membership sideblog… and just as important, engaging with people in conversation attached to their own blog posts:
Hey Griff – Something you might be interested in…I was looking at a report yesterday at the Humane Society that shows where the hits on our website are originating from and something like 35% of them are coming from Locally Grown. (continued)
MPR’s conducting their spring membership drive this week and it reminded me to do likewise. I’ve flipped on our LoGroNo membership banners in the header, the left sidebar, and the…

Last week I got emails from Sandy Vesledahl and Bridgette Hallcock at Premier Bank, alerting me to an upcoming pancake breakfast fundraiser for the Rice County Humane Society (RCHS). (Dog photo by Bridgette, taken at last year’s Susan Perry Memorial Walk for Animals.) I assumed they wanted me to blog about it so I pitched them a Locally Grown membership instead:
‘Twould be great to have Premier Bank as a member of LG. Then you could promo events like this as a community service of Premier. Of course, you can also promo bank-related products and services, too.
Sandy then had the brilliant idea of the bank not only buying a Locally Grown membership for themselves but a separate one for RCHS so that they could do their own sidebar membership blog posts.
They’re back! Yep, the Locally Grown membership ad banners are up (just like at MPR: screenshot here and here). I’ve created a 7-minute screencast video in which I explain how…
Jane Moline stopped my morning office at GBM yesterday and paid for a Locally Grown annual membership with cash. Andrea Een paid for hers in cash, too. I’ve had other…
