Elk River

Otsego

Otsego's farmers market runs Tuesdays from 3 to 6 p.m. through late August, set up in the Coborn's grocery store parking lot rather than a dedicated market square. It's a straightforward weekly stop for this fast-growing Wright County suburb northwest of the Twin Cities. The city itself organizes it — questions go through Otsego City Hall rather than a separate market board.

Norm's sells home-grown produce seven days a week, 8am to 6pm, at 10568 125th Avenue SE in Becker. Regulars come for the sweet corn and a rotating spread of seasonal vegetables, with pumpkins and gourds filling the stand each fall. It holds a 4.9-star rating across dozens of reviews.

Buffalo

Buffalo's winter market moves indoors to the Community Center on Central Ave, running select Saturdays from November through March, 8 a.m. to noon.

Check buffalofarmersmarket.com for exact dates.

Rogers' market runs Tuesday afternoons, 3 to 6:30 p.m., from July into September, organized through the city rather than an independent nonprofit. It sets up in this fast-growing Hennepin County exurb northwest of the Twin Cities. Questions and vendor inquiries go through Rogers City Hall on South Diamond Lake Road rather than a separate market board or chamber.

Rockford

Rockford's market runs on Main Street in this small Wright County town on the Crow River, west of the Twin Cities. No independent listing confirms current hours or vendors.

Elk River

Thursdays, 3 to 7 p.m. in June and July, shortening to 3-6 p.m. in September, at the corner of County Road 5 and Nowthen Blvd near Elk River.

Princeton

Formed in 1987, the Princeton-Zimmerman Farmers Market Association has run a Saturday market in downtown Princeton for close to 40 years. The summer market sets up at Princeton Mall, 8:30 a.m. to noon, May through October, with every vendor required to sell something grown or made on their own farm — no resellers. A separate Zimmerman location runs on its own schedule at 12950 Fremont Ave.

Princeton

The same association that runs Princeton's summer market keeps a smaller version going through winter: the second Saturday of each month, November through April, 9 a.m. to noon, at the Princeton Mall location on Rum River Drive. The rule holds year-round — every vendor sells only what they grow or make on their own farm, so the lineup shrinks with the season instead of bringing in outside resellers.

This Saturday market runs at Goose Lake Farm and Winery in Nowthen, 10am to 4pm from May through October. Everything sold is grown or made in Minnesota, from fresh produce and specialty foods to original artwork and estate wines. Shoppers can tour the vineyard, watch craft demos, taste wine, and visit the farm animals while they browse. The site sits on 213th Avenue NW, northwest of Elk River.

Delano

Delano Farmers' Market has run since 2002, meeting Wednesdays, 2 to 6 p.m., May through October, in the Flippin' Bills lot at the corner of Highway 12 and County Line Road.

Call 763-238-2702 for current details.

Ramsey

Run by New Life Church at the corner of 167th and Hwy 47 in Ramsey, this Saturday market (9 a.m. to 1 p.m., May 20 to September 9) donates 10% of proceeds to the New Life Food Shelf. It's a SNAP-approved retailer built around a stated mission to link the church and the surrounding community.

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.

A cow mascot and the Calves' Corner kids' art table make it a family stop, with music and giveaways each week.

Anoka

Known locally as the Farmers Market on the Rum, this market sets up along 2nd Avenue next to Anoka City Hall and Riverfront Memorial Park on Wednesdays, 3 to 7 PM, June through September. Vendors bring everything from fresh produce to cottage foods and farmstead products, with the Rum River as a backdrop.

Maple Grove

Thursdays, 3 to 7 p.m., May through mid-October, at the Maple Grove Community Center on Weaver Lake Rd. Voted best outdoor farmers market in 2025, it mixes local produce, flowers, prepared foods, meats, and cheeses with entertainment and a free kids' Power of Produce club running May through October.

Maple Grove

Same Weaver Lake Rd address as the summer market at the Maple Grove Community Center, which moves partly indoors as the season turns. Vendors continue offering local produce, flowers, and handmade goods; check the market's own site or Facebook for current winter dates, since indoor scheduling shifts year to year.

Call (763) 762-7101 for current details.

Annandale

Running since 1977, this open-air market meets Fridays 3:30 to 6:30pm from June through October on Lewis Avenue in Watertown.

Andover

This Andover farmers market sets up at Grace Lutheran Church, 13655 Round Lake Boulevard NW, part of the Saint Paul Farmers' Market network that's operated in the metro since 1854. Vendors sell fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese, baked goods, cut flowers, bedding plants, and hanging baskets.

Osseo

Osseo's farmers market sets up at Boerboom Veterans Park just off Central Avenue, in this small Hennepin County city on the Twin Cities' northwest edge. Like most Minnesota outdoor markets, the season runs roughly June through September with vendors selling directly from the park grounds.

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.

A community market at 2450 Wilshire Boulevard in Mound, serving the Westonka area on the west side of Lake Minnetonka.

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.

Howard Lake

Howard Lake Area Farmers Market runs Thursday afternoons, 3 to 6 p.m., June through August, at Central Park just off Highway 12. The market marked its 10th season in 2025, drawing regional farms and makers to this small Wright County town. Produce, baked goods, and handmade goods make up most vendor tables, with a separate winter version taking over once the outdoor season ends.

Billed as Anoka County's oldest and longest-running farmers market, this one sets up in the Coon Rapids Ice Center parking lot on Wednesdays, 3 to 6 PM, June through early October. Regulars sell fresh vegetables, berries, honey, jams, and flowers, with a rotating cast of crafters, artists, and cottage bakers each week. Details at anokacountygrowersassociation.com.

Plymouth

Milaca

Thursdays from 4 to 7 p.m., this market sets up at The Bee inside Maple Ridge Mall, 1000 5th St SE in Milaca. It's run by a local group of growers, farmers, makers, and small businesses selling fresh produce and handcrafted goods, with the market extending into early spring rather than stopping at first frost. Call 320-260-2286 to confirm the current vendor lineup.

Milaca

Milaca's market doesn't fully shut down for winter — it continues at The Bee in Maple Ridge Mall on a Thursday schedule, run by the same local group of growers, farmers, and makers behind the warm-season market at that address. Expect a smaller, more craft-and-baked-goods-heavy lineup than summer, since fresh produce thins out with the season. Call 320-260-2286 for current hours.

Howard Lake

The winter version of Howard Lake Area Farmers Market moves indoors to the South Shore Event Center, running Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., October through April. It picks up where the Thursday summer market at Central Park leaves off, giving vendors a cold-weather outlet for preserves, baked goods, and crafts once the growing season ends.

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.

Brooklyn Park

Brooklyn Park Farmers' Market runs Wednesdays, 1 to 6 p.m., seasonally at 5600 85th Ave N. Vendors sell produce they grew themselves alongside honey, bread, and flowers — the city requires vendor-grown or vendor-made goods only, no resale. Call (763) 493-8333 or check brooklynpark.org/farmersmarket for the current schedule.

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.

Minneapolis

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.

Brooklyn Center

Brooklyn Center's Thursday market runs 3 to 7 p.m. from July through October at 7200 Brooklyn Blvd, hosted jointly by CAPI USA and the city. Vendors sell fresh produce, handmade crafts, and baked goods, and the market takes SNAP/EBT — no small thing in a market built to serve a food-access mission as much as a shopping one.

St Cloud

Every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon, May through October, vendors line the Lady Slipper parking lot beneath downtown St. Cloud's Liberty Bell. Shoppers can expect local produce, fresh-roasted coffee, cut flowers, baked goods, and handmade crafts, with live music playing most weekends. The market accepts SNAP/EBT and Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers, making it one of central Minnesota's more accessible Saturday markets.

Crystal

Crystal Farmers' Market runs Tuesdays, 3 to 6:30 p.m., June through late September, at the Crystal Community Center in Grogan Park. Vendors sell locally grown produce, handmade goods, and food truck fare, with the lineup shifting week to week. The city runs a Kids Day and a Seniors Day each season — worth checking the Crystal Parks and Rec Facebook page for exact dates.

South Haven

This is the South Haven location tied to the Annandale Farmers' Market, held at 13835 51st Avenue. The market's main Saturday season runs from Memorial Day weekend through mid-September, 8 AM to noon; specific winter/off-season hours at this site weren't confirmed in available sources. Check the market's Facebook page for current dates.

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.

Sauk Rapids

Sauk Rapids Market sets up in the Coborn's parking lot every Thursday from 3 to 6 p.m., May through October. Vendors sell fresh produce, baked goods, snacks, and crafts, and the market accepts SNAP/EBT and the Farmers Market Nutrition Program. It's one of several markets serving the greater St. Cloud area.

East Bethel

Thistle and Ivory Farmers' Market runs indoors in East Bethel from spring through fall, a setup that keeps vendors selling through weather that would shut down an outdoor market. Listed vendors include growers of humanely raised meat alongside the usual mix of produce and food-artisan stands. It's newer and smaller than the long-running markets in nearby Twin Cities suburbs, and the vendor lineup shifts week to week.

Ham Lake

Ham Lake's Farmers' & Artisan Market sets up Wednesday afternoons through summer in the Mickman Brothers parking lot on Highway 65. Around 30 vendors rotate through selling produce, eggs, meat, honey, maple syrup, jams, and handmade goods like candles and lotions, with food trucks parked alongside. It runs on a shorter summer window than some of the metro's spring-to-fall markets.

Set in downtown Isanti at 17 Main Street West, this market sells naturally grown local produce alongside fresh-food vendors, artisans, and the occasional local musician. It pulls growers and makers from the surrounding Isanti County area through the warm-season run. The current vendor schedule is posted at isantifamilyfarmersmarket.org.

Robbinsdale

Held in the park across from Hy-Vee on Crystal Lake Blvd, this Robbinsdale market is in its eighth season. Saturdays bring seasonal fruits, vegetables, baked goods, and flowers from local growers, plus artisan goods from vendors like L&D BBQ and Heartland Heritage Farms. SNAP, EBT, FMNP, and WIC are accepted alongside cash and cards.

Minneapolis

Tucked around Dancing Bear Chocolate at 4367 Thomas Ave N in the Victory neighborhood, this Sunday market runs 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. from June through mid-October. It's a small, mixed market — local produce and craft vendors set up alongside a working chocolate, gelato, and pastry shop that's operated in North Minneapolis since 2017. Worth timing a visit around a coffee or pastry stop at the shop itself.

Isanti

Cambridge runs both a summer and winter market: Saturdays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., May through October, in the City Hall parking lot at 300 3rd Ave NE, and a scaled-back first-and-third-Saturday winter version at City Center Mall. The summer market accepts SNAP/EBT and features local growers, produce, and handmade goods, plus free gardening consultations.

Waite Park

This Waite Park market, previously held Saturday mornings outside Backwards Bread Company at 113 Waite Ave N, closed as a standing weekly market. Backwards Bread Company has continued hosting occasional pop-up markets at the same lot, so shoppers should check with the bakery directly before making a special trip.

Isanti

The Neighborhood Market draws roughly 50 vendors and five food trucks to the Isanti area every Friday from 1 to 6 p.m., spring through fall. It has grown into one of the larger weekly markets in Isanti County, mixing produce growers with makers of baked goods, crafts, and prepared food. The market's Facebook page has built a following of more than 4,000 locals who use it to track weekly vendor lineups and weather closures.
