Farms Near Shakopee, MN

Shakopee

This Shakopee market runs Wednesdays from 3 to 7 p.m. at 1455 St Francis Ave, giving locals a weekly chance to buy straight from the farmers and producers who grow their food.

The market keeps an active Facebook page with vendor updates and around 800 followers.

Shakopee

American Legion Post 2, a veteran support nonprofit, hosts this open-air market at 1266 1st Avenue East in Shakopee — one of three farmers markets operating in the city. Vendors sell fresh, local produce and organic goods. Call 612-245-0476 or visit american-legion-post-2.myfreesites.net for current hours.

Shakopee

Downtown Shakopee's farmers market sets up outdoors along Lewis Street from spring through fall, with local growers alongside vendors selling spreads, baked goods, crafts, and prepared food. It runs as part of the city's downtown revitalization push, drawing shoppers into the historic core instead of a parking-lot pop-up. Produce availability shifts with the Minnesota growing season, so early spring means transplants and greens, late summer brings sweet corn and tomatoes.

Prior Lake

Harvest Gardens rents community garden plots and opens pick-your-own patches, including pumpkins and strawberries, on land between Prior Lake and Lakeville. A community-outreach mission runs underneath it: growing space for people who lack their own, plus seasonal produce for visitors. Vehicle access loops the perimeter of the plots.

Prior Lake

Prior Lake's market sets up along Main Avenue SE in this Scott County suburb south of the Twin Cities. As with most Minnesota outdoor markets, it runs during the warmer months; specific days and vendor details weren't independently confirmed.

Prior Lake

Shakopee

The roadside stand opens daily from July into October with sweet corn, pumpkins, watermelon, berries and a wide range of vegetables. Peter grew up in a local farming family; Carmen came from Peru to teach Spanish, and the two started this Shakopee farm in 1999. October brings daily U-pick pumpkins and a corn maze, with free hayrides and U-pick apples on weekends. Call (952) 906-0247 or order through peterspumpkins.com.

Shakopee

First cut in 1997, Sever's was the first corn maze in Minnesota and still the largest, carved fresh each year on 100 acres in Shakopee. Past designs have included a sinking Titanic, a map of the world and safari scenes. It has grown into Sever's Fall Festival with more than 30 attractions: an obstacle course, corn pits holding 10,000 bushels each, a straw-bale maze, a giant slide and a pick-your-own pumpkin field, plus food, beer and wine.

Chaska

Chaska's downtown market runs Thursdays, June 5 through October 2, at City Square Park, with live music from 6 to 7:30 p.m. most weeks.

Set up near the old train depot in downtown Savage, this Sunday market runs 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is operated by the Saint Paul Growers' Association, the same nonprofit that's run Twin Cities markets since 1854.

The pumpkin season is the farm-facing side of an otherwise events-focused operation.

Hopkins

Carver Farmers' Market runs Tuesdays, 3 to 6 p.m., June through late September, with small farms and food businesses selling direct — vegetables, fruit, meat, eggs, cheese, artisan bread, honey, maple syrup, and starter plants, plus a food truck most weeks. No middlemen, no chain-store markup, just what growers in Carver County brought that morning.

Minnetonka

Minnetonka

Indoors at the Minnetonka Community Center on Minnetonka Blvd, this winter market runs occasional Saturdays through December and February with local foods and handmade gifts, live music, and SNAP/EBT matching that doubles the first $10 spent into Winter Market Bucks. Summer tokens carry over to winter dates.

Edina

Centennial Lakes Farmers' Market runs Thursdays, 3 to 7 p.m., June through late September at Edina's Centennial Lakes Park. Beyond the produce, meat, honey, and baked goods, the market runs on Edina Liquor profits — $350,000 of them funded park operations in 2024 — and adds live music, a beer and wine garden, free kids' fishing, and Edina Art Center craft activities. Admission and parking are free.

Victoria

Field Good Garden and Market operates out of 8099 Bavaria Road in Victoria as a garden center and market combined, selling seasonal produce alongside bedding plants, flowers, and other garden essentials. It runs spring through fall, following Minnesota's growing season rather than a fixed festival calendar. Call ahead if you're after a specific item — inventory shifts with what's actually ready to sell.

Bloomington

When the outdoor season ends, Bloomington's market moves indoors at the same Civic Plaza address, trading the parking lot for a heated hall through the coldest months. Vendors still sell local meat, baked goods, and preserved produce alongside crafts, just without the July sunburn. Same organizers, same line — (952) 563-8877 or [email protected].

Bloomington

Bloomington Farmers' Market runs Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the east lot of Bloomington Civic Plaza at 1800 W Old Shakopee Rd.

The city's parks department runs it — reach them at (952) 563-8877 or [email protected].

Jordan

Jordan Farmers Market runs out of 225 Water Street, operating indoors from spring through fall with local growers, bakers, and meat and dairy producers. The market recently returned after a break, relaunching with support from Jordan's Scott County community. It's a small-town market — expect a handful of regular vendors rather than a sprawling list.

Burnsville

A small Minnesota beekeeping operation selling raw and crystallized honey from its own hives, plus swarm removal and hive tours. The bees aren't treated with chemicals or given antibiotics, and forage on unsprayed ground. Listings place the apiary in Webster, southeast of the Twin Cities, rather than Burnsville. Call ahead to arrange honey pickup or a visit.

Cedar Lake

Thompsons' Hillcrest Orchard, founded in 1996, grows more than 1,800 trees and 13 apple varieties, including Honeycrisp, SweeTango, and First Kiss, along 250th Street East in the Cedar Lake/Elko area of Scott County. Beyond pick-your-own and pre-picked apples, it runs a corn maze and sells pumpkins and gourds plus apple pies, jams, jellies, and caramel apples. It's a family operation south of the Twin Cities.

Burnsville

Jordan

Over 100 apple varieties grow across roughly 30,000 trees here, a Sponsel family orchard since 1971 between Jordan and Belle Plaine. Pick your own in October or buy fresh-picked at the Apple Lodge through November. The farm runs a bakery and kitchen, a petting farm, hiking trails, and wagon rides with bonfires from mid-May into December. It also hosts weddings, birthday parties, and day camps.

Webster

Mike and Gretchen Perbix took over this Webster orchard in 2010 and grow 99 apple varieties, from Honeycrisp to Golden Russet and Northern Spy. They press fresh cider on site and run a cidery making nine hard ciders that range from dry to sweet, including a single-varietal Northern Spy and a Cherry Rhubarb Scrumpy. The orchard opens weekends in September and October with apples, baked goods, and cidery and orchard tours.

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.

Grass Fed Cattle Co. sells 100% grass-fed and finished beef, pasture-raised pork, and free-range chicken sourced from farmers across Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Orders go through an online store with Twin Cities pickup or home delivery to surrounding suburbs. Meat is raised without antibiotics, added hormones, or GMO feed.

Webster

Burnsville

This Burnsville market sets up Thursdays, 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., May through late October, in the parking lot of Mary, Mother of the Church.

Reach the network office at (651) 227-8101.

It accepts SNAP-EBT and Market Bucks.

Aspen Ridge Honey Farm keeps bee colonies across southern Minnesota and has expanded into organic microgreens alongside its honey line. The farm sells through an online store and a rotating summer schedule of Twin Cities-area farmers markets including Bloomington, St. Paul Lowertown, Burnsville, Roseville, Lakeville, Apple Valley, Savage, and Inver Grove Heights.

A midweek satellite of the Richfield Farmers Market at 6400 Lyndale Avenue South.

Sundays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., May through late October, in the Settergren's Ace Hardware parking lot on W 43rd St. Founded in 2012, the market rotates roughly 50 farmers, food producers, chefs, and artists each week, with live music running alongside the stalls. Organized by BrightSide MPLS.

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.

Plymouth

Plymouth

Plymouth's market runs out of the city's west side along County Road 6, in one of the Twin Cities' largest western suburbs. Minnesota outdoor markets typically run summer into early fall; specific hours weren't confirmed here.

Raw honey pulled from the operation's own hives, sold seven days a week from a small farm market on the Golden Valley and St. Louis Park line.

Golden Valley

The winter version of Golden Valley's market moves indoors at City Hall, held the second Sunday of each month, November through March, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Over 20 vendors sell foods, crafts, and gifts, a smaller-scale continuation of the Sunday summer market on Golden Valley Rd.

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.

New Prague

Roman and Fran Barten have run Barten Pumpkins for more than 30 years, about 45 minutes southwest of the Twin Cities in New Prague. The patch grows more than 45 varieties of pumpkins, squash, and gourds, plus broom corn and straw bales for fall decorating. Admission is free, with photo spots, games, and live music on select weekends.

Long Lake

Two Pony Gardens is a small dahlia and heirloom tomato operation in Long Lake, west of the Twin Cities. In summer they open the rows for pick-your-own dahlias and tomatoes and sell cut flowers at peak bloom. Come spring, they offer pre-started dahlia tubers and heirloom tomato seedlings for home gardeners. A deliberately small two-crop farm.

Minneapolis

East Isles Farmers Market sets up Thursday evenings, 4 to 8 p.m., through the summer in Minneapolis's East Isles neighborhood near The Mall. Started in 2018, it leans toward small-scale growers selling produce raised without synthetic chemicals, alongside prepared food for an after-work crowd. It's a newer market compared to the decades-old markets elsewhere in the city, sized for a neighborhood rather than a regional draw.
