Midtown Farmers Market — Local services in Minneapolis

I used to look forward to coming here before covid. my favorite merchant is no longer there. Today was my third time visiting. The man who met shoppers said I was golden. He did not mention me not wearing a mask just to wash hands. There was no sign asking for masks. Minneapolis has law must wear indoors. I only wanted to see 2 vendors. To see them I have to follow a path. Didn't quite get to my vendors on the end of trail. I get stopped by lady who said she is manager and if i had a mask. I said I did but this is not indoors. She told me it is the law. I didn't feel like getting sent out before seeing my vendors. I said if it makes people feel better fine. Minnesota law still prohibits face covering to conceal identity. Minn. Stat. § 609.735. A person whose identity is concealed by the person in a public place by means of a robe, mask, or other disguise, unless based on religious beliefs, or incidental to amusement, entertainment, protection from weather, or medical treatment, is guilty of a misdemeanor. I did get to see my vendors. made purchase. would have been there in less than 5 minutes if I didn't have to follow paths. FUNNY thing there is a question on their page if dogs are welcomed. They are allowed. I suggest masks for dogs. There are reports dogs...

What a true community space! Love that it’s in the heart of South Minneapolis and conveniently located next to the light rail. It’s small, but bursting with life. I appreciate that it appears less gentrified than other farmers markets. They accept EBT, and the crowd was diverse (wide range of ages, races, genders).

I’ve only been one time, but I’m already looking forward to future trips. The stand-out food items were the beignets and the passion fruit bubble tea. They came from different stands, which I regrettably forget the names of, but you’ll be able to easily find them.

The real highlight was the DJ. Having a DJ at a farmers market is a BRILLIANT idea! He set the exuberant tone with his disco, funk, and house hits. He was surrounded by his beaming family, and I was utterly charmed with him.

Such a gem...

Great selection of local produce, quality product vendors and prepared foods/food trucks. U of M's Market Science is there for the kids to enjoy. U of M's Master Gardeners are there for advice and plant identification. Local musicians also perform weekly. It has a strong community presence and great support from the Corcoran community. So much so, that folks make the market their Saturday morning destination. Grab a coffee and a scone, call your friends, enjoy a bite while listening to great music before doing your shopping. It's...
