This Little Piggy Went to Market…read more The Red Wing Farmers Market on Levee Street down by the train depot is kind of a big dill! Get yourself and your little piggies up early on Saturdays from June through October as the market only lasts from 8 am to 1 pm, and the baked goods sell out quickly. Red Wing's market might be on the smaller side, but it has all you need to live high on the hog. Go ahead and put all your eggs in one basket, along with fresh organic produce, honey products, sourdough breads, cookies, ice cream cones, crafts, and gorgeous flowers. While you shop, enjoy beautiful views of Barn Bluff and the Mississippi River, along with snacks from food trucks like Chef Shack, Firebrick Pizza, and Yummy Eats. If you're lucky, you might visit on a day with live music to turnip the beet, or when Wild Pyle Acres brings a few of their llamas and yaks to the market for the kiddos to meet. Be sure to stop by the information booth, especially if you don't have cash on you. You can use your credit card to purchase tokens--how handy is that? This is also the spot to sign up kids for The Power of Produce Program (PoP). Each child can receive a $2 token every Saturday to spend on fresh produce, teaching them how to make healthy food choices! From tomatoes to po-tah-toes, this market is great place to stock up on un-beet-able artisanal items and produce. It's very easy to spend too much here, leaving you and your wallet crying, "Wee! Wee! Wee!" all the way home!!

The meat department has a great selection and a really nice butcher. Actually, everyone here has been incredibly nice.

Great little farm not too far away from downtown Red Wing with a good selection of flowers to pick and create a bouquet or vase to take home with you. Staff were friendly and resourceful and made sure you picked the best they had available. Pricing was not bad at all for the whole experience, $15 - $25 depending on size.

I stopped into Red Wing Confectionery on a Saturday afternoon as I'm a huge chocolate lover, so…read morethis place was calling my name. There's so much to take in that I had to set a personal limit (though it's reassuring to know I can always come back... and I will!). They offer a great variety: handmade chocolates, ice cream, coffee, and candies. It's a little treasure for anyone with a sweet tooth. The sweet smell of ch plate fills the air and you can actually see stuff packaging the chocolate (near the counter). The only downside was that the staff didn't greet us when we walked in....we kind of had to initiate the interaction. But once we got talking, things were friendly enough. I left with a small stash of chocolate treats, and they were delicious. Red Wing Confectionery is definitely going to be a regular stop for me whenever I'm in town!

PRO TIP: a "single scoop" is actually two scoops, so you can add for a kids cone to get just one scoop.
