I happened to attend on a rainy day in May and was surprised to see dedicated vendors showing up to showcase breads, veggies, flowers, pickles, coffee, kettle corn and even live music. There is abundant parking and lots of room to move between the stands. It never felt crowded (but this might be due to the rain). I was able to purchase all my perennial flowers and it felt good to give back locally. The kettle corn stand even gave me 4 small sample bags for free. Of course I tipped but appreciated his kind gesture. Fun fact: I learned you can freeze kettle corn to keep it stay fresh longer. The more you know!!

They got fermented small crab sauce they mixed in there that gives a nice flavor profile. LOTS of peanuts which I also love to cook down my mouth from the heat. They added mango which I found delish and added a sweet taste to the bite. Also got the pork belly$12 super moist and crunchy plus the sauce it comes with?? Amazing. Not exactly crack sauce but it's on the same spectrum. Zero regrets. Would take a trip here again(it's only 2 bus ride away from home) 10/10 recommend for anyone that wants that true southeast Asian taste. They also got many other drink and food options for any palate level.

What makes this market special is the rule that the produce/products must be grown/made within a 100 mile radius. This ensures we have local meats, produce, plants and products. You won't find pineapples or mangos at this market. It is a joy to support these hard working farmers and entrepreneurs. The market space itself is well maintained, clean and offers restrooms. There are no dogs allowed in this market. There is often live music and there are also vendors selling breakfast sandwiches, tacos, Asian eats and everything in between. Being in Lowertown, it's mostly paid street parking. This is a MUST visit!! Saturdays and Sundays only.

I subscribed to their crop share program and pick up a bag of FRESH produce every other week for myself and my daughter. If you have a larger family, you can schedule a weekly pickup. The St Paul location is the Sunrise Market near Minehaha. This is convenient to Mississippi Market -- so I pick up my share and other staples during the same trip. The most recent share included carrots, potatoes, squash, rutabaga, sprouts, lettuce and some tomato-basil soup. Subscribing to the share forces me to eat a variety of vegetables year round. I've rediscovered sprouts after nearly a decade. Summer and winter shares are available. The CSA offers pickup points throughout the Twin Cities and provides the ability to sign up online. It's worth visiting their website, though, and learning how they raise veggies and Fish year-round.

Excited as I love a breakfast taco or burritos I went over to check it out. There was a short line but it moved fast. I went to the front to order and was greeted by super nice staff. You are given the option to get a corn or flour tortilla for the tacos . I was able to order a veggie taco and a chorizo taco one with corn and one with flour. While they were tasty enough they definitely were better AFTER I added salsa -which they had handy on a side table. The price per taco was the same for all varieties at $5 per taco. Def have to eat at least two if you wanted to feel like you ate something as they are small. For the market they are busy as they are one of only like 4 food vendors and with a savory option so they are in a good area.I would like to try other items not at the market to get a full view of the business.o

In addition to the tacos, they also sold tortillas. You could choose corn or flour tortillas. One of my friends had a corn tortilla taco which was a blue corn tortilla! Service was efficient! Only took a couple minutes to get the taco after ordering. There were 3 different sauces available, and mini sauce cups available if you wanted to dip your tacos or put the sauce on after instead of in real time. It was overall tasty, and I would get it again! If you're not planning to eat at any of the other stands at the market, I'd recommend eating 2, but one was perfect if you're planning to try foods from multiple vendors.

I like shopping produce, flowers, and so forth as much as the next person but I like some good hot food even more. There are quite a few food options like Omelets, Tacos, Arepas, Burgers and Sandwiches. Hola Arepa has been there every weekend and they have some great stuff, really ups the value in my book. There has been live music, cultural dancing and other entertainment every time I've been as well. The cheese curd guy in the back corner is great, he always has a ton of samples and offers them up with no pressure to buy. This market shouldn't go over looked when comparing to all the other choices in Minneapolis/St Paul. It's a good option to keep on the list when looking for a free weekend activity.

The class was excellent. Very fun and educational. They provided the list of ingredients, equipment and recipe in advance so you could be prepared and prep in advance and cook along at the same pace as the chef and enjoy dinner afterwards. We mashed the beans (or you could use a food processor). And chopped the veggies. (chef used fresh, I sautéed mine first I just don't care for onion or raw garlic). Add spices (cumin, Hot paprika, pepper, salt, and sauce. We eat an egg ( or you can make Chia seed egg) and you could add breadcrumbs. We then mixed with our hands and formed patties. One can of black beans makes four burgers. As we cooked, host Lasked questions and also relayed our questions from the chat. Chef Jess provided her background and how she got into the cooking and being a personal chef now and trying to make healthy meals and promote wellness through food. She gave lots of suggestions on various summer meals and a variety of veggie burger combinations. And showed us how to chop the vegetables and provided the knife she prefers. She gave us tips on photographing food from above not the side (Check out my cool hands in the air photos) Made mine with black beans, poblano, peppers, carrots. onions, egg and buffalo sauce. (I sautéd the veggies with garlic and herbs) we baked the burgers in oven. Chef Jess used Sriracha. But she gave us lots of suggestions in how to make it your own. she gave alternates if you wanted to make it vegan or gluten-free or dairy free etc. (I am pescatarian). As far as assembling the burgers. I fried two eggs. And sliced an avocado, tomato and some radishes Topped with the buffalo sauce (use sour cream instead of mayo), avocados, radish, and tomato and served on mixed greens. You don't need no stinking bread. Yum. They turned out so good. And so filling. I'll be making again. Next time with garbanzo beans. Thank you Chef Jess! And thank you seaward community co-op /Lawson for hosting.

There's no entry fee. There are plenty of areas staged for cute fall photos and a playground area for kiddos with a sandbox. For minimal fees, they offer: apple picking, train rides, and informational tractor rides that provide information about the farm's establishment. There's also a store on site with all sorts of canned goods and tasty baked apple treats. The ambiance was so lovely- relaxed without crowds of people, plenty of parking and beautiful color-changing leaves to appreciate. We enjoyed our visit to Sunrise River and are looking forward to it being an annual family tradition.

They also have bags already prepared if you don't want to pick your own. They have yard games, hayrides but my favorite is the big barn where you can pet the animals. They had donkeys, sheep, baby kittens and bunnies. The store has caramel apples, tons of different homemade jams and salsas, apple cider donuts and other baked goods! They even had life music when I went this past weekend. Parking is super easy. The apple orchard is open Sept-Oct 10am-6pm
