Farmers Markets near Shakopee, MN

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

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.

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.

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.

Chanhassen

Chanhassen Farmers' Market runs Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., June through September, at City Center Park. More than 30 vendors rotate through the season, and the market runs a youth program that hands kids ages 3 to 18 weekly funds to spend on fresh produce. SNAP/EBT accepted. 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.

Prior Lake

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.

Excelsior

The Lake Minnetonka Excelsior Farmers Market runs Thursday afternoons through summer in the east parking lot of Excelsior Elementary at 441 Oak Street. Vendors sell local produce alongside artisan goods, and the market accepts SNAP/EBT and Farmers Market Nutrition Program benefits for shoppers who qualify. It's a straightforward neighborhood market — no festival trappings, just growers and a rotating cast of makers.

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.

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.

Excelsior

Join us at the Excelsior Farmers Market and immerse yourself in a vibrant variety of locally sourced produce, artisanal goods, delicious prepared food and drinks, and a community that buzzes with excitement & entertainment! Open Thursdays 2-6pm. We Accept SNAP/EBT and Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP).

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.

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. Summer tokens carry over to winter dates.

Minnetonka

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.

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.

Hopkins

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.

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.

A community market at 2450 Wilshire Boulevard in Mound, serving the Westonka area on the west side of Lake Minnetonka. Local vendors sell produce and homemade goods through the growing season, with cash and card accepted. The Westonka Food Shelf has also run free farmers markets in the same community.

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.

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.

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

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.

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].

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.

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 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.

Burnsville

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.

An 'udderly unique' market with an eco and education bent, held Thursdays 3 to 7pm in July and August off Highway 12 and Main Street in Maple Plain. Vendors sell produce, flowers, baked goods, honey, maple syrup, spices, and handmade wares. A cow mascot and the Calves' Corner kids' art table make it a family stop, with music and giveaways each week.

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.

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.

Minneapolis

Sundays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., May through late October, in the Settergren's Ace Hardware parking lot on W 43rd St. Founded in 2012, the market rotates roughly 50 farmers, food producers, chefs, and artists each week, with live music running alongside the stalls. Organized by BrightSide MPLS.

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.

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.

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.

Richfield

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

Minneapolis

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.

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.

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.

Norwood Young America

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
