Buffalo

Buffalo's winter market moves indoors to the Community Center on Central Ave, running select Saturdays from November through March, 8 a.m. to noon. It's a smaller lineup than summer — mostly meat, baked goods, jams, and eggs — but it keeps regional growers connected to buyers through the months nothing's in the ground. Check buffalofarmersmarket.com for exact dates.

Mound

Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., late May through mid-October, on Shoreline Dr in Mound. Locally grown produce shares table space with beef, chicken, eggs, maple syrup, jellies, salsas, honey, mushrooms, and handmade soaps and lotions, with live music most weekends.

A community market at 2450 Wilshire Boulevard in Mound, serving the Westonka area on the west side of Lake Minnetonka.

Spring Park

The Artimer Market — artisan plus farmer — sets up at Back Channel Brewing on Lake Minnetonka the last Wednesday of each month, May through September, 5 to 8 p.m. More than 20 local vendors sell food, art, jewelry, crafts, and clothing while the taproom pours its own lagers and imperial stouts and a band plays outside. It's less a produce stand and more a lakeside artisan fair with beer.

Waconia

Waconia Farmers' Market sets up in the Waconia Square parking lot on First Street every Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m., running from early June into mid-October. Now in its 23rd year, it has grown from a small grassroots gathering into a city-backed weekly event mixing fresh produce, eggs, jam, and baked goods with flea-market and craft vendors. Organizers have been actively recruiting more producers of berries, honey, syrup, and tallow to round out the food offerings.

Victoria

Field Good Garden and Market operates out of 8099 Bavaria Road in Victoria as a garden center and market combined, selling seasonal produce alongside bedding plants, flowers, and other garden essentials. It runs spring through fall, following Minnesota's growing season rather than a fixed festival calendar. Call ahead if you're after a specific item — inventory shifts with what's actually ready to sell.

Albertville

The Albertville Lions Club runs this Thursday market, 3 to 7 PM, June through the end of September, in Central Park on Main Avenue NE. Vendors sell locally grown produce and handcrafted goods. Vendors or shoppers with questions can call (763) 443-5621 or email [email protected].

Monticello

The Monticello Community Center on Walnut St hosts an indoor winter market starting in November, with vendors selling fresh produce, canned goods, baked goods, maple syrup, honey, plants, meat, and cheese. It's a smaller-scale continuation of the Thursday summer market held at the library, mid-May through September.

This Carver County market recently renamed itself from Bongards Farmers Market to 212 Farmers Market NYA, though longtime shoppers still know it by the old name. It runs Wednesday afternoons, June through September, with area growers and makers selling direct in Norwood Young America.

Howard Lake

The winter version of Howard Lake Area Farmers Market moves indoors to the South Shore Event Center, running Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., October through April. It picks up where the Thursday summer market at Central Park leaves off, giving vendors a cold-weather outlet for preserves, baked goods, and crafts once the growing season ends.

Rogers

Rogers' market runs Tuesday afternoons, 3 to 6:30 p.m., from July into September, organized through the city rather than an independent nonprofit. It sets up in this fast-growing Hennepin County exurb northwest of the Twin Cities. Questions and vendor inquiries go through Rogers City Hall on South Diamond Lake Road rather than a separate market board or chamber.

Wayzata

Wayzata Farmers' Market runs Thursday afternoons through the growing season on Lake Street, with its own vendor directory rather than a generic listing-service page. The market publishes a weekly newsletter covering vendor specials and keeps a seasonal photo gallery and recipe page built around whatever produce is in. It's a longstanding fixture of this Lake Minnetonka town's summer calendar, and it recruits new food vendors through an application process on its site.

Big Lake

Big Lake

This indoor market runs the third Saturday of every month, November through April, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Big Lake City Hall, 160 Lake St N.

The November date usually includes free photos with Santa.

Chanhassen

Chanhassen Farmers' Market runs Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., June through September, at City Center Park.

Reach the market at [email protected].

Carver

Carver Farmers' Market runs Tuesdays, 3 to 6 p.m., June through late September, with small farms and food businesses selling direct — vegetables, fruit, meat, eggs, cheese, artisan bread, honey, maple syrup, and starter plants, plus a food truck most weeks. No middlemen, no chain-store markup, just what growers in Carver County brought that morning.

Chaska

Chaska's downtown market runs Thursdays, June 5 through October 2, at City Square Park, with live music from 6 to 7:30 p.m. most weeks. The SouthWest Metro Chamber of Commerce — which also covers Chanhassen, Carver, and Victoria — runs the market, and vendors sell produce, eggs, meat, cheese, honey, maple syrup, candles, soap, pottery, and jewelry alongside food trucks. SNAP/EBT accepted.

Plymouth

Plymouth's market runs out of the city's west side along County Road 6, in one of the Twin Cities' largest western suburbs. Minnesota outdoor markets typically run summer into early fall; specific hours weren't confirmed here.

Plymouth

Otsego

Otsego's farmers market runs Tuesdays from 3 to 6 p.m. through late August, set up in the Coborn's grocery store parking lot rather than a dedicated market square. It's a straightforward weekly stop for this fast-growing Wright County suburb northwest of the Twin Cities. The city itself organizes it — questions go through Otsego City Hall rather than a separate market board.

Minnetonka

Indoors at the Minnetonka Community Center on Minnetonka Blvd, this winter market runs occasional Saturdays through December and February with local foods and handmade gifts, live music, and SNAP/EBT matching that doubles the first $10 spent into Winter Market Bucks.

Minnetonka

Elk River

Maple Grove

Same Weaver Lake Rd address as the summer market at the Maple Grove Community Center, which moves partly indoors as the season turns. Vendors continue offering local produce, flowers, and handmade goods; check the market's own site or Facebook for current winter dates, since indoor scheduling shifts year to year.

Maple Grove

Thursdays, 3 to 7 p.m., May through mid-October, at the Maple Grove Community Center on Weaver Lake Rd. Voted best outdoor farmers market in 2025, it mixes local produce, flowers, prepared foods, meats, and cheeses with entertainment and a free kids' Power of Produce club running May through October.

Shakopee

Downtown Shakopee's farmers market sets up outdoors along Lewis Street from spring through fall, with local growers alongside vendors selling spreads, baked goods, crafts, and prepared food. It runs as part of the city's downtown revitalization push, drawing shoppers into the historic core instead of a parking-lot pop-up. Produce availability shifts with the Minnesota growing season, so early spring means transplants and greens, late summer brings sweet corn and tomatoes.

Shakopee

American Legion Post 2, a veteran support nonprofit, hosts this open-air market at 1266 1st Avenue East in Shakopee — one of three farmers markets operating in the city. Vendors sell fresh, local produce and organic goods. Call 612-245-0476 or visit american-legion-post-2.myfreesites.net for current hours.

Plymouth

This is the Plymouth location of the Eden Prairie Indoor Farmers Market group, set up at 10050 6th Ave N under the same organizers as the Prairie Center Drive market. Vendors sell seasonal produce, baked goods, bedding plants, preserves, and cut flowers, with availability tied to what's actually in season. Despite the name, the market itself operates in Plymouth, not Eden Prairie.

Hopkins

The winter edition of Hopkins Farmers' Market runs November through mid-December, 9 a.m. to noon, indoors at the Hopkins Activity Center. It's a shorter, colder-weather stand-in for the main Saturday market that runs June through October at a different downtown Hopkins location, aimed at vendors with produce, preserves, and gifts that hold up past first frost.

Shakopee

This Shakopee market runs Wednesdays from 3 to 7 p.m. at 1455 St Francis Ave, giving locals a weekly chance to buy straight from the farmers and producers who grow their food. It's a smaller, community-scale market — local growers selling what's in season alongside crafts and other homemade goods. The market keeps an active Facebook page with vendor updates and around 800 followers.

Norm's sells home-grown produce seven days a week, 8am to 6pm, at 10568 125th Avenue SE in Becker. Regulars come for the sweet corn and a rotating spread of seasonal vegetables, with pumpkins and gourds filling the stand each fall. It holds a 4.9-star rating across dozens of reviews. Call (763) 261-4267 for what's picked.

Hopkins

Osseo

Osseo's farmers market sets up at Boerboom Veterans Park just off Central Avenue, in this small Hennepin County city on the Twin Cities' northwest edge. Like most Minnesota outdoor markets, the season runs roughly June through September with vendors selling directly from the park grounds.

Eden Prairie

The Eden Prairie Indoor Farmers Market runs out of 770 Prairie Center Drive, giving local growers and food producers a heated space to sell once Minnesota's outdoor market season ends. Vendors offer produce, prepared foods, and handmade goods, though the exact lineup rotates week to week. It's one of two indoor locations under the same organizers, with a sister market in Plymouth.

Annandale

Minneapolis

Twin Cities Mobile Market is a full grocery store built inside a converted school bus, run by the nonprofit Food Group. The bus stops at more than 20 sites across Minneapolis and St. Paul on a weekly rotation, stocked with fresh produce, dairy, meat, grains, and pantry staples at below-market prices. During growing season it sources produce from Big River Farms, the Food Group's farmer-training program. It takes cash, cards, SNAP/EBT, and matches up to $10 in Market Bucks on fresh fruit and vegetable purchases.

Minneapolis

This address is the headquarters and warehouse for The Food Group, a Minnesota food bank that has operated for 50 years across 30-plus counties. Rather than a single market stall, the nonprofit runs Fare For All discount grocery sales, the Twin Cities Mobile Market bus, and Big River Farms, a training program for emerging farmers. It partners with more than 250 farmers and 500 organizations to move fresh, culturally specific food into neighborhoods that need it.

Minneapolis

Jordan

Jordan Farmers Market runs out of 225 Water Street, operating indoors from spring through fall with local growers, bakers, and meat and dairy producers. The market recently returned after a break, relaunching with support from Jordan's Scott County community. It's a small-town market — expect a handful of regular vendors rather than a sprawling list.

Golden Valley

Golden Valley's outdoor market sets up behind City Hall under the water tower, Sundays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., June through October. Local growers, bakers, artisans, and food makers sell fresh produce, cheese, honey, and crafts, with music and kids' activities running through the day.

Golden Valley

The winter version of Golden Valley's market moves indoors at City Hall, held the second Sunday of each month, November through March, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Over 20 vendors sell foods, crafts, and gifts, a smaller-scale continuation of the Sunday summer market on Golden Valley Rd.

New Hope

R&R Cultivation is a local grower in the Twin Cities that specializes in growing fresh, gourmet mushrooms.

Our urban Minnesota mushroom grow is located in New Hope, Minnesota.

Champlin

Champlin Farmers' Market runs Tuesdays, 2 to 6 p.m., June through September, in the Ice Forum parking lot at 12165 Ensign Ave N.

Call (763) 762-7101 for current details.

Belle Plaine

Belle Plaine Farmers' Market runs Wednesdays, 3:30 to 6:30 p.m., mid-May through mid-October at 235 S Ash St. Growers and home bakers sell seasonal produce and artisan goods out of a small-town lot, the kind of market where you recognize the same faces selling the same sweet corn every summer.

Elk River

Thursdays, 3 to 7 p.m. in June and July, shortening to 3-6 p.m. in September, at the corner of County Road 5 and Nowthen Blvd near Elk River.

Anoka

Known locally as the Farmers Market on the Rum, this market sets up along 2nd Avenue next to Anoka City Hall and Riverfront Memorial Park on Wednesdays, 3 to 7 PM, June through September. Vendors bring everything from fresh produce to cottage foods and farmstead products, with the Rum River as a backdrop.

Run by New Life Church at the corner of 167th and Hwy 47 in Ramsey, this Saturday market (9 a.m. to 1 p.m., May 20 to September 9) donates 10% of proceeds to the New Life Food Shelf. It's a SNAP-approved retailer built around a stated mission to link the church and the surrounding community.

Brooklyn Park

Brooklyn Park Farmers' Market runs Wednesdays, 1 to 6 p.m., seasonally at 5600 85th Ave N.
