Holiday Passport


Starting this Saturday, the Chamber is kicking off our Holiday Passport as part of the Save A Buck campaign! Shop local and get rewarded this holiday season — when you spend $485 at any Chamber member business, you’ll have a chance to win exciting prizes!


There’s nothing businesses need to do — customers simply collect their receipts from local Chamber businesses and bring them to the Northfield Chamber office to be entered. You can join the fun too! Click HERE to download your Holiday Passport, start shopping small, and support our local community. The passport program runs through December 12th, so start collecting those receipts this weekend!

Employers: Prepare Now for Minnesota’s Paid Leave Program


Minnesota’s Paid Leave Program begins January 1, 2026, and employers must take key steps before December 1, 2025. The program provides paid leave and job protection for employees during major life events, with premiums shared between employers and employees. Employers must set up Paid Leave administrator accounts, notify employees about the program, and decide how to handle premium contributions. Small employers may qualify for reduced rates.

October Chamber Highlights

Morning Mingle at Boho Peacock


We had a wonderful time at this month's Morning Mingle, hosted by Boho Peacock — one of Northfield’s newest downtown stores! Attendees enjoyed connecting with fellow Chamber members while exploring the shop’s beautiful selection of unique clothing, home décor, gifts, and accessories. Thank you to Boho Peacock for the warm welcome and for hosting such an enjoyable morning of networking and community spirit in the heart of downtown Northfield!

Ground Breaking Ceremony at Full Potential Therapy


We recently celebrated the exciting new construction at Full Potential Therapy! Their space is currently undergoing a major remodel, including updates to the lobby, kitchen, and gyms. It’s wonderful to see their continued growth and commitment to creating a welcoming, functional space for clients and staff. We can’t wait to see it all come together!

Breakfast With The Board


We had a great morning at our Breakfast with the Board, where our stakeholder members joined Chamber Board members for a delicious breakfast and meaningful conversation. Attendees received an update on what the Chamber has been working on, upcoming initiatives, and ways to stay engaged in our local business community. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this valuable and energizing start to the day!

Business After Hours at College City Beverage


We had a fantastic evening at Business After Hours, hosted by College City Beverage! Guests enjoyed great conversation, networking, and refreshments while learning more about the company’s long-standing presence and impact in our community. A big thank you to College City Beverage for opening their doors and providing such a welcoming atmosphere for Chamber members to connect and unwind.

Manufacturing Luncheon


We had a wonderful Manufacturing Luncheon at Ruth’s on Stafford, where attendees enjoyed a delicious lunch and engaging presentations from The City of Northfield, POST, and Keepsake Cidery.
