Farms Near Apple Valley, MN

Apple Valley

This is the winter edition of the Rosemount Farmers Market, relocated indoors to an address in neighboring Apple Valley rather than Rosemount itself — both Dakota County suburbs south of the Twin Cities. No independent listing confirms current hours or vendors.

Apple Valley

This listing's name references Woodbury, but the address given (7955 150th St W) places it in Apple Valley, roughly 20 miles away — likely a mismatch between a winter market location and its usual name. We couldn't verify which market this refers to online; check with the city of Woodbury or Apple Valley for the current winter market schedule.

Burnsville's winter market relocates to Apple Valley for the cold months, running Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The lineup narrows to what keeps through winter — meat, bakery items, honey, and cheese — sold indoors while the summer produce stalls sit empty until spring.
