The Saturday morning Farmers' Market is a blast. I love the fresh produce, the flowers , I love the arts and crafts (inexpensive trinkets, and thrift oddities abound), I love the people watching (nothing beats watching the atmosphere is fun. Personal favorites are the guys selling bulk tamales, the Wisconsin Honey Guy!! And they also have Chicago Hot Dogs!!!!!

If the Minneapolis Farmer's Market did not exist, I don't know where I would find good produce. Sure, the other local grocery stores carry "fresh" produce during summer months but nothing can compare to the deliciousness of the produce at the Minneapolis Farmer's Market. I recently discovered that it will be open through Christmas Eve this year so I will be sure to see what fresh goodies they have during the winter. I am always amazed at the local goods that I can find. Even though it can be a little hard to find, maybe just for the navigationally challenged, I think that it is worth the extra work! Plus, it is a fun, Saturday outing, much more exciting than a trip to Lund's or Rainbow!

What can you not find at the Minneapolis Farmers Market? During the late spring/summer/early fall months, there is everything a person could need at this wonderful outdoor fest. From the best local grown produce, to amazing homemade sausages, plants & flowers in every variety, cheeses, olives, juices, homemade and ethnic clothing & jewelry, rugs, handmade goods.... You name it, it can be found at the Minneapolis Farmers Market. In addition, they have a brat/corn/lemonade stand that makes the Farmers Market a great place to go shop, on the weekend and have lunch. It's a great place to visit to get a taste of what the outlaying areas can produce.

Fresh produce, pretty flowers-what's not to love about the Minneapolis Farmers' Market. For me, it has always been a huge, colorful, crowded celebration of the 5 or so months in Minnesota that are not freezing cold, or brown and mucky. From my experience, the market transitions from mostly plants and flowers in the spring, to a full-on produce fest from midsummer to early fall. I recently discovered that the market is open weekends until the end of December. I have never gone past September-so I am interested to see what the Farmers' Market will have to offer later this year.
