Tess,
Here are some resources to help get you started. The Garden Start Up Guide originates in the Twin Cities but can be adapted to local needs. In the coming weeks and months much more will be added to this site to meet Northeast needs, so please check back.

Here is a good Farm to School cookbook out of Oklahoma... Not local (MN) but could be helpful for large batch cooking of MN produce.
