Hmong Farmers Market — Attraction in Saint Paul

Real fresh foods, certifiably local farms and authentic immigrant Hmong farmers who proudly grow everything they sell. Sweet, friendly people. Prices as a rule are very good, like a dollar store for greens. Cash is preferred.

Even better -- seems to me, is how it draws a ton of locals. Dont be too surprised to see folks shoulder to shoulder on one hand with backpack-basket bearing women from SE Asia and on the other a Nigerian sunday church goer in spectacular gown and soaring headpiece. Nearly all transactions in English even if all around you is a cacophony of various buyers languages.

Located at one end of Sunfoods Supermarket parking lot next to University Ave you can't miss it by car, bus or train. The lanes/entrance are wheelchair accessible...

Wow they have so many different choices of Ramen noodles. Some of them are very good. I like this one kind that has three different flavor packets and ingredients that you get to add to the noodles very good and spicy. Plus they have so many items that I couldn’t find at any grocery store I normally go to. Now I wanna cook some asian dishes like Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Hmong , Vietnamese Thailand, with ingredients that belong in the food rather than substitutions. (I was gonna say I want to cook a bunch of Chinese dishes to eat with all their Chinese ingredients.) but decided that would be the ignorant way to say I want to cook some food from other countries or nations...

This serves for all of my needs food wise. The international selection of groceries and in particle the South East Asian styled daily prepared meals in the deli, makes this one of the continued staples to the South East Asian community at Dale and University. The staff has always been friendly and helpful and I've found that the prices are very reasonable when compared to other grocery stores...
