Farmers Markets near Minneapolis, MN

Minneapolis

A Thursday fixture on Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis since the 1990s, part of the Minneapolis Farmers Market family that traces back to 1876. It offered fresh produce and artisan goods to downtown workers before going on hiatus; check current listings before planning a visit, since recent reporting says it has not returned to the mall.

Minneapolis

Now well into its second decade, this Wednesday market runs 2 to 6:30 p.m. from July through September or October at Franklin and Nicollet Avenues in Minneapolis. It's organized by the Stevens Square Community Organization on a smaller scale than the big downtown markets — produce, honey, hot sauce, food trucks, and local artists in one intimate footprint. The market accepts SNAP and Market Bucks, and proceeds support the Groveland Food Shelf.

Minneapolis

The Farmers Market Annex sits at 200 East Lyndale Avenue North as an extension of Minneapolis's largest open-air farmers market, open Saturdays and Sundays, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., spring through fall. Vendors sell locally grown produce, cut flowers, handmade crafts, and prepared food, with a seasonal tree lot added toward the end of the year. Parking is easier here than at the main downtown market grounds.

Tracing its roots to 1876 and operating at this Lyndale Ave N location since 1937, this is the largest farmer-managed market in Minnesota, run by the Central Minnesota Vegetable Growers Association. Open Wednesday through Sunday, April 27 to October 31 — weekdays 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., weekends from 6 a.m. — with produce, plants, and local goods from over 100 grower-members.

Minneapolis

The Lyndale Ave N market, the state's largest farmer-managed market since 1937, runs its main season Wednesday through Sunday from late April to the end of October.

Minneapolis

Indoors at the Mill City Museum on S 2nd St, this market runs the 1st and 3rd Saturdays, November through April, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Local produce, artisanal foods, and handmade goods continue year-round what the outdoor May-to-October market started, with a mission built around organic, sustainable food access.

Minneapolis

Four Sisters Farmers Market runs Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., June through October, in the parking lot of Powwow Grounds Cafe on Franklin Avenue. The Native American Community Development Institute organizes it to bring affordable, culturally relevant food into Minneapolis's American Indian Cultural Corridor. It accepts SNAP-EBT and Market Bucks, and vendors focus on produce alongside foods tied to Indigenous foodways.

Held first Sundays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., November through April, at 629 NE 2nd St. This is the winter counterpart to Northeast Minneapolis's outdoor market, with local produce, artisanal foods, and handcrafted goods, and SNAP/EBT accepted.

Minneapolis

A pair of small markets in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis, near 427 Cedar Avenue on the city's West Bank. They bring fresh produce and vendors to a dense, diverse part of town during the summer. Locations and dates have shifted over the years, so check the West Bank Farmers Market Facebook page before heading over.

A neighborhood market on Chicago Avenue South serving the Powderhorn, Phillips, and Longfellow communities of Minneapolis. Alongside local produce it runs live music and accepts EBT to keep fresh food affordable. The first hour each week stays quiet for shoppers with special needs. It's one of several small south-side markets that trade through the summer growing season.

An indoor-capable market in the Lyn-Lake neighborhood of south Minneapolis at 3300 Bryant Avenue South. Vendors sell locally sourced food, and payment options include SNAP, EBT, and WIC alongside cash and card. It sits a few blocks off the Lake Street and Lyndale Avenue corridor.

Minneapolis

East Isles Farmers Market sets up Thursday evenings, 4 to 8 p.m., through the summer in Minneapolis's East Isles neighborhood near The Mall. Started in 2018, it leans toward small-scale growers selling produce raised without synthetic chemicals, alongside prepared food for an after-work crowd. It's a newer market compared to the decades-old markets elsewhere in the city, sized for a neighborhood rather than a regional draw.

Minneapolis

Located at 1418 North Oliver Avenue in Minneapolis, the name "Emporium" suggests a standing market space rather than a weekly outdoor stand. No independent website or listing turned up to confirm current hours or vendors.

Minneapolis

Minneapolis

West Broadway Farmers' Market operates on West Broadway Avenue in Minneapolis's Near North neighborhood. Beyond its name, address, and an active Facebook page, we couldn't independently verify this season's hours, vendor lineup, or contact details online — worth a call or a check of the page before visiting.

Started in 2001 as a pickup truck of vegetables parked behind Anodyne Coffeehouse, Kingfield now runs about 40 vendors every Sunday at MLK Park on Nicollet Ave. Produce, prepared foods, coffee, and handmade crafts fill the lot from mid-May through late October, 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The market won City Pages' Best Farmers Market twice and is run by the nonprofit Neighborhood Roots.

Minneapolis

Grower-direct produce and flowers sold Wednesdays, 11am to 2pm, from July through September at 200 SE Oak Street on the Minneapolis campus.

Minneapolis

This pop-up sets up at 2015 Lowry Avenue North in Minneapolis. The name points to a plant-based, vegan-leaning focus rather than a general produce market, though no independent website or listing turned up to confirm current schedule or vendors.

Minneapolis

This address on East 38th Street sits in the Standish-Ericsson area of south Minneapolis. The listing reads as a community food or produce-access program rather than a working farm. South Minneapolis supports several neighborhood food programs and small markets that move fresh produce to nearby residents through the growing season. Hours, vendors, and contact details for this specific listing aren't confirmed online.

Minneapolis

Audubon Farmers Market is a small community market that features local produce and hand-made food and artisan craft products. Our market features local musicians and food trucks. June-September; Thursdays 4-7 pm.

SNAP, EBT, FMNP, and WIC are accepted alongside cash and cards.

Minneapolis

HeightsFEST is a community farmers market organized by Heights Next, a Columbia Heights–area nonprofit, at 4034 Monroe Street NE. Local growers, bakers, and food makers set up stalls with seasonal goods; the market doubles as a neighborhood gathering rather than a pure commercial stop. Check Heights Next's site for the current season's dates, since community-run markets like this often shift year to year.

Minneapolis

Tucked around Dancing Bear Chocolate at 4367 Thomas Ave N in the Victory neighborhood, this Sunday market runs 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. from June through mid-October. It's a small, mixed market — local produce and craft vendors set up alongside a working chocolate, gelato, and pastry shop that's operated in North Minneapolis since 2017. Worth timing a visit around a coffee or pastry stop at the shop itself.

Minneapolis

A family-friendly market near Lake Nokomis on 25th Ave S, mixing farmers with artisans, makers, and food trucks on Thursday evenings, June through September, 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. It leans more craft-and-maker than a straight produce market, with a following of over 5,400 on Instagram.

Minneapolis

The market long known as Fulton Farmers Market operates Saturdays, 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., mid-May through October, run by the nonprofit Neighborhood Roots. It's since been renamed the Southwest Farmers Market and relocated, but the same organization and vendor base — farms, cottage bakers, small food producers — carries over. It accepts SNAP-EBT and Market Bucks.

Minneapolis

This Chowen Ave S address in the Fulton neighborhood belongs to the Fulton Farmers Market, a sister market to Kingfield under the same nonprofit, Neighborhood Roots. Saturdays, 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., mid-May through October, with produce, baked goods, flowers, and artisan crafts. SNAP-EBT and Market Bucks accepted.

Minneapolis

The winter iteration of the Lake Nokomis-area maker and farmers market, at a separate S 34th Ave address. Organized in association with the Farmers' Market Coalition and the Minnesota Farmers Market Association; confirm current dates directly since the market has posted seasonal breaks in past years.

A Sunday market that ran in the parking lot of Urban Growler Brewing at 2325 Endicott Street in St. Paul's Creative Enterprise Zone. Urban Growler, Minnesota's first women-owned microbrewery, hosted the vendors alongside its taproom and dog-friendly beer garden. Check the brewery's current calendar before visiting, since market dates shift by season.

Richfield

A midweek satellite of the Richfield Farmers Market at 6400 Lyndale Avenue South. The main Richfield market runs Saturday mornings at Veterans Memorial Park, and this Lyndale Avenue location adds a weekday stop for fresh produce and local goods through the summer. The City of Richfield's Parks and Recreation department runs both.

Richfield

The Richfield Farmers Market moves indoors for the winter! Join us on select Saturdays inside the Richfield Community Center for local foods, crafts, and gifts.

Falcon Heights

Roseville

Every Tuesday morning from 8 to noon, growers set up in the parking lot of Corpus Christi Catholic Church at 2131 Fairview Ave N.

Fridley

The Fridley Farmers' Market Association runs its market Saturday mornings, 9 a.m. to noon, at 6085 7th Street NE. It's a small community-run market rather than a city department program, selling local produce and vendor goods through the growing season. Specific vendors aren't published in advance — it's a show-up-and-see operation typical of first-ring suburb markets.

New Brighton

Wednesdays at the New Brighton Community Center, 3 to 7 p.m. in summer scaling back to 3-6 p.m. in October, with about 35 vendors selling produce, flowers, eggs, bread, honey, and crafts. Five food trucks show up most weeks, and each Wednesday has its own theme — live music, kids' activities, seniors' activities, or community programs.

Crystal

Crystal Farmers' Market runs Tuesdays, 3 to 6:30 p.m., June through late September, at the Crystal Community Center in Grogan Park. Vendors sell locally grown produce, handmade goods, and food truck fare, with the lineup shifting week to week.

Edina

Centennial Lakes Farmers' Market runs Thursdays, 3 to 7 p.m., June through late September at Edina's Centennial Lakes Park. Beyond the produce, meat, honey, and baked goods, the market runs on Edina Liquor profits — $350,000 of them funded park operations in 2024 — and adds live music, a beer and wine garden, free kids' fishing, and Edina Art Center craft activities. Admission and parking are free.

St Paul

St. Luke's Farmers' Market sets up on Field Avenue in St. Paul's Highland Park neighborhood. Like most small neighborhood markets in the Twin Cities, it runs on a seasonal schedule with local growers selling whatever produce, flowers, and baked goods are ready that week. Call ahead to confirm current hours before visiting.

New Hope

R&R Cultivation is a local grower in the Twin Cities that specializes in growing fresh, gourmet mushrooms. We believe that wholesome, fresh, nutritious food should be accessible to everyone and know that local growers are the key to making that mission a reality. Our urban Minnesota mushroom grow is located in New Hope, Minnesota.

Mounds View

Arlington Hills Farmers' Market sets up in Mounds View spring through fall, drawing area growers for weekly outdoor shopping. Like most Minnesota markets on this schedule, the vendor lineup shifts with the season — asparagus and greens in early June, sweet corn and tomatoes by August, squash and apples heading into fall.

Minneapolis

Brooklyn Center

Brooklyn Center's Thursday market runs 3 to 7 p.m. from July through October at 7200 Brooklyn Blvd, hosted jointly by CAPI USA and the city. Vendors sell fresh produce, handmade crafts, and baked goods, and the market takes SNAP/EBT — no small thing in a market built to serve a food-access mission as much as a shopping one.

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.

St Paul

Frogtown Farm is a 12.7-acre certified-organic urban farm in St. Paul, among the largest of its kind in the country, and its Community Celebration turns the farm into a free, family-friendly gathering with live performances, food, and produce alongside the usual market stalls. The farm has grown food and run youth and grower programs on this ground since 2016. Reach them at (651) 600-3414 or [email protected].

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.

St Paul

House of Hope Farmers Market runs Friday afternoons, 1:15 to 5 p.m., May through October, in the parking lot of House of Hope Presbyterian Church on Summit Avenue. It's one of 18 neighborhood locations operated by the St. Paul Farmers' Market, selling produce, cut flowers, plants, and artisan foods. EBT, cash, card, and market bucks are all accepted.

Hopkins

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.

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].

St Paul

Sun Foods is an indoor market at 544 University Ave W in St. Paul's Midway neighborhood, open daily with extended evening hours. Rather than the outdoor vendor-stall format most Twin Cities markets use, it runs as a year-round international grocery, stocking fresh produce, meat, seafood, and Asian grocery staples at everyday prices. It fills the same weekly-shopping role as a seasonal market, just under one roof, twelve months a year.

St Paul

Keg and Case Farmers Market runs inside the historic Schmidt Brewery building on West 7th Street, an indoor counterpart to St. Paul's outdoor markets. It operates on a seasonal schedule, with vendors selling direct to shoppers rather than through the food hall's regular restaurant stalls. Free parking is available across the street at the outdoor market lot on 5th Street.

Brooklyn Park

Brooklyn Park Farmers' Market runs Wednesdays, 1 to 6 p.m., seasonally at 5600 85th Ave N. Vendors sell produce they grew themselves alongside honey, bread, and flowers — the city requires vendor-grown or vendor-made goods only, no resale. Call (763) 493-8333 or check brooklynpark.org/farmersmarket for the current schedule.
