ANAMOOSE, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota now has a center of production, distribution and marketing services for local food growers.

The FARMtastic Heritage Food Hub in Anamoose has been open for about a month.

Founder Mirek Petrovic says the food hub has been well received, serving daily lunch specials and baked goods. He says FARMtastic works with about seven area growers who sell through and to the food hub.

The food hub operates on a two-tier fee system. Petrovic will sell the members’ products at the highest price he can find and take 25 percent of that as a fee. He takes 35 percent from non-members.

Producers don’t have to be certified organic but FARMtastic has a “no harsh chemicals” rule.
