St. Paul Farmers Market… their Saturday-Sunday downtown Lowertown market focuses on locally grown veggies, flowers and fruit, not crafts… plus this market has tons of satellite market sites throughout the metro…
Mill City Farmers Market… showcases organic and sustainable products, including local lamb, chicken, trout, cheese, chocolate, different kinds of garlic… Saturday mornings only in downtown Minneapolis between Mill City Museum and the Guthrie Theater…
Uptown Market… one of the newest street markets in the Twin Cities, not so much a farmers market as a showcase of all things local… vendors include fine arts, crafts, jewelry and prepared foods in addition to local produce and flowers… Sundays 11-5 on 29th Ave S between Dupont and Lyndale…
