Farmers Markets near Dundas, MN

Dundas

Dundas Farmers Market sets up at Mill Park along the Mill Towns Trail every Thursday afternoon, roughly 2 to 6 p.m., May through October. Vendors sell artisan breads, produce, herbs, jams, and heirloom tomato seedlings. Dundas sits just south of Northfield along the Cannon River, and the trailside location pulls in cyclists as much as regular shoppers.

Northfield

Northfield runs an unusually full schedule for a town its size: Tuesdays and Fridays 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m., plus Saturdays 9 to 11 a.m., with fresh seasonal produce, flowers, and plants. It's a separate operation from the well-known Riverwalk Market Fair on Bridge Square, which runs Saturdays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. from mid-May through October.

Northfield

Riverwalk Market Fair runs every Saturday from May 16 through October 31, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Bridge Square along the Cannon River in downtown Northfield. It combines farm vendors with local artisans and makers rather than running as a produce-only market, and closes September 12 for Defeat of Jesse James Days. Organizers describe a commitment to keeping food accessible to the whole community, with vendor and sponsor applications handled through the market's website.

Northfield

The winter edition of Riverwalk Market Fair moves indoors to Northfield Middle School, running Saturdays from November 21 through December 19, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with an added Thursday, December 10 date tied to the town's Winter Walk event at Armory Square. It's run by the same nonprofit behind Northfield's summer Bridge Square market, just scaled down for the cold months.

Faribault

This market sets up on the grounds of Milestone Senior Living, an assisted living community at 2500 14th St NE in Faribault, offering residents and area shoppers a low-key source of local produce and seasonal goods. It runs alongside three other Faribault-area markets, including the long-running Faribault Farmers' Market downtown.

Faribault

Cannon Valley Farmers' Market runs Thursdays, 4 to 7 p.m., June through September, gathering food farmers, fiber farmers, and food makers from across the Cannon Valley region. Manager Dawn Wegscheid runs a market that accepts SNAP/EBT, Market Bucks, and Power of Produce tokens for kids — a fuller slate of nutrition-assistance programs than most markets this size offer.

Faribault

Faribault's Central Park has hosted this market on Saturday mornings, 7 AM to noon, for more than 45 years, with Wednesday afternoon hours added in July. Vendors sell produce, eggs, maple syrup, honey, jams, salsas, meat, goat milk soap, coffee, and cut flowers — nearly all grown, raised, or made by the sellers themselves. Details and the current vendor list are at faribaultfarmersmarket.com.

Faribault

The winter counterpart to Faribault's Thursday market moves indoors during the colder months, run by the same Cannon Valley Farmers' Market team under manager Dawn Wegscheid. It carries the market's SNAP/EBT, Market Bucks, and Power of Produce programs through the off-season instead of shutting down when the outdoor market ends.

Dennison

Dennison Farmers Market runs Wednesdays, 5 to 7 p.m., starting in late May, in the city park of this small Goodhue County town. Vendors bring vegetables, eggs, baked goods, and seasonal items like pumpkins in the fall — Heidi Cooke has led the market since taking it over in 2023.

Lakeville

The Arts Center parking lot on Holyoke Ave hosts two market days: Wednesdays from noon to 5 p.m., June through October, and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., mid-June through late September. Vendors sell locally grown vegetables, fruit, cut flowers, plants, and artisan food goods. EBT, cash, card, and market bucks are all accepted.

Lakeville

This is the parking-lot market at the Lakeville Area Arts Center on Holyoke Ave, running Wednesdays and Saturdays from May through October. Vendors bring fresh produce, meats, baked goods, and handmade items, with most accepting cash, credit, and debit, and some taking SNAP, EBT, FMNP, and WIC.

Farmington

Farmington's farmers market runs seasonally, typically Thursday afternoons from May through October, bringing local growers and a handful of artisan vendors to this Dakota County town southeast of the Twin Cities. The site has moved between a few downtown lots in recent years, so it's worth checking the city's current listing before making the trip.

Farmington

Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., rain, shine, or snow, through the first weekend of November, this market runs at the Sundquist Pavilion, 33113 Grand River Ave, in downtown Farmington. It's billed as an award-winning source for local, sustainable produce, sweet corn, green beans, blueberries, summer squash, and tomatoes, with live music from area musicians.

Morristown

Morristown keeps a quiet Sunday-morning slot for its market, 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., spring through fall, where local farmers and artisans sell fresh, seasonal produce and handcrafted goods in this small Rice County town.

Kenyon

The Kenyon Farmers' Market meets at First Evangelical Lutheran Church on the first and third Thursday of the month, June through early October, from 4 to 7 PM. Vendors sell baked goods, gluten-free treats, candies, coffee, honey, maple syrup, and homemade crafts alongside produce. The market is coordinated through Kenyon Parks & Recreation and the market's Facebook page.

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.

Apple Valley

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.

Apple Valley

Apple Valley Farmers' Market runs Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., at 7100 147th St W, one of 18 markets in the St. Paul Farmers' Market network that's connected growers to Twin Cities shoppers since 1854. Vendors sell direct off the truck — produce, meat, honey, baked goods — and the market takes EBT, cash, card, and market bucks. It runs through October before picking back up the following spring.

Montgomery

Saturday mornings from 9 to 12:30, spring through fall, this market gathers in Montgomery's Memorial Park at 500 5th St SE. It's run in partnership with the Farmers' Market Coalition and the Minnesota Farmers Market Association, with local gardeners, farmers, and merchants selling fresh produce, handmade crafts, and other goods in a small-town, community-first setting.

Owatonna

Saturdays from 7 a.m. to noon, June through October, this market takes over Central Park in downtown Owatonna with seasonal produce, fresh flowers, homemade baked goods, honey, jams, and handcrafted items. Vendor offerings shift through the season, so the lineup in June looks different from October. The Owatonna Area Chamber of Commerce coordinates registration.

New Prague

Held twice a week, May through October, Wednesdays 3 to 6 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m. to noon, the New Prague Farmers Market brings organic food, fruits, vegetables, local specialties, and crafts to downtown New Prague, with live entertainment at the Saturday market.

Prior Lake

Cannon Falls

Artisan Plaza Farmers' Market runs Saturday mornings, 7:30 to noon, May through October, at the Artisan Plaza food hall on 4th Street South in Cannon Falls. Dave Olson opened the plaza in 2018 as a combined market and food hall, and the Saturday market continues rain or shine.

Prior Lake

Prior Lake's market sets up along Main Avenue SE in this Scott County suburb south of the Twin Cities. As with most Minnesota outdoor markets, it runs during the warmer months; specific days and vendor details weren't independently confirmed.

Rosemount

Burnsville

Burnsville

This Burnsville market sets up Thursdays, 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., May through late October, in the parking lot of Mary, Mother of the Church. It's part of the St. Paul Farmers' Market network — the same organization running markets since 1854 — so expect vegetables, fruit, cut flowers, plants, and artisan food goods sold straight off growers' trucks. Reach the network office at (651) 227-8101.

Savage

Set up near the old train depot in downtown Savage, this Sunday market runs 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is operated by the Saint Paul Growers' Association, the same nonprofit that's run Twin Cities markets since 1854. Growers sell produce, cut flowers, plants, and artisan food, all sourced locally. Kids can hunt for Maggie the Market Goat, a running scavenger-hunt feature with a prize at the info booth. EBT and Market Bucks accepted.

Waterville

Waterville, known locally as the self-proclaimed Bullhead Capital of the World, hosts this downtown market on Common Street in Le Sueur County. No independent listing confirms current hours or vendors.

Bloomington

When the outdoor season ends, Bloomington's market moves indoors at the same Civic Plaza address, trading the parking lot for a heated hall through the coldest months. Vendors still sell local meat, baked goods, and preserved produce alongside crafts, just without the July sunburn. Same organizers, same line — (952) 563-8877 or [email protected].

Bloomington

Bloomington Farmers' Market runs Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the east lot of Bloomington Civic Plaza at 1800 W Old Shakopee Rd. Growers, producers, and food makers sell direct to shoppers, with a Market Bucks program stretching SNAP and WIC dollars further. The city's parks department runs it — reach them at (952) 563-8877 or [email protected].

Waseca

Waseca's market runs on 8th Avenue NE in this Waseca County seat built around Clear Lake in south-central Minnesota. No independent listing confirms current hours or vendors.

Eagan

Eagan Market Fest's winter session keeps the city's farmers market running through the cold months, with vendors selling meat, dairy, honey, maple syrup, baked goods, and other local staples once garden produce drops off the tables. The City of Eagan's Parks & Recreation department runs it alongside the market's larger summer and fall season at the same Central Parkway grounds. The vendor lineup rotates, so what's available shifts week to week.

Eagan

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.

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.

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.

Wanamingo

Wanamingo's market runs in this small Goodhue County town in southeastern Minnesota. No street address, hours, or vendor details were found beyond the town listing itself.

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.

Elysian

Elysian's winter farmers market moves indoors and switches to Saturday mornings, 9 AM to noon, once the Thursday summer market wraps up for the season. The smaller lineup still features area farmers and artisans, just scaled down for the off-season. It's the same community that runs the warm-weather Elysian market, just trading the sidewalk for a heated room.

Elysian

The Elysian Farmers' Market sets up at 117 E Main Street on Thursdays from 2 to 6 PM. Vendors bring fresh vegetables, free-range eggs, and handcrafted goods from around the area, and shoppers describe it as an easygoing, reasonably priced stop in the middle of downtown Elysian. Follow the market's Facebook page for weekly vendor updates and any schedule changes.

Le Center

Every Wednesday from 4 to 6:30 p.m., June through September, this market sets up in Government Center Park in Le Center. Founded by RaeLynn Skluzacek of Feather Retriever Co. and now in its second year, it features unique, handcrafted and homegrown goods from area vendors, with the market still recruiting new vendors each season to fill out the Wednesday lineup.

Hastings

Hastings Farm Market runs Tuesdays and Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Westview Shopping Center along the south frontage road. Vendors sell local produce, flowers, jams and jellies, herbs, honey, soap, salsa, and a rotating selection of crafts. It runs on two weekly days rather than one, giving it more standing hours than most single-day markets in the area.

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.
