The Northarvest Bean Growers Association (NBGA) is a non-profit organization based in Fargo, North Dakota, that represents the region’s prominent dry bean farming community. It focuses on supporting approximately 2,400 dry-edible bean farmers from North Dakota and Minnesota by funding research, promoting bean production, and advancing market development to strengthen the quality and availability of edible dry beans in North America. NBGA operates within the agricultural industry as a collective voice for growers, monitoring policy, advocating for consumer options, and emphasizing the needs of producers. In addition to its farming advocacy work, the association oversees Bean Institute, which educates consumers about beans and promotes their role in healthy diets. Recent developments include recognition for the organization by the North Dakota Extension Association of Family and Consumer Sciences in 2026 and ongoing activities around events such as Bean Day in early 2026, reflecting its role in industry promotion and community engagement.
