My husband and I have done the market a few morning this summer & loved it! We recommend parking in…read moreSt Anthony parkway & walking over stone arch. We do recommend you get there early to get the food you desire. The line for coffee is wild so I recommend you grab that before arriving somewhere near by instead. Lots of street parking as well as lots. Overall this market is so fun, vibrant & welcoming!

I went to Mill City Farmers Market to grab coffee from Red Wolf Chai but ended up checking the…read moreother vendors out as well. I like the layout of this market, it's smaller than the main Mpls farmers market but I like that they have more food vendors/food trucks. I recently went back to grab some fresh flowers (& coffee) and it was super easy to find some I liked at a great price. I generally love this area so I for sure want to explore it more next year.

I randomly stumbled upon the Linden Hills Farmers Market, and it turned out to be such a lovely…read moresurprise! From the variety of food trucks and local food vendors to the fresh produce and unique artisan crafts, there was so much to explore. It was a fun way to spend the morning, and I discovered several delicious vendors that I'll definitely be coming back for. Afterward, I checked out their Instagram and learned that the Linden Hills Farmers Market is held every Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. They also seem to be very responsive on social media if you have questions about the weekly vendor lineup or what's available that weekend. I can't wait to come back and see what new vendors and treats I'll discover next time!

As October approaches, look for pumpkins and gourds, the opening of the corn maze, and the spooky fun decorations. Now the watermelons, cabbage, cantaloupe (my favorite is the cute little sugar cube), and fall root veggies are abundant. As is sweet corn, pickling cukes, and more. Stop in before they close for the season in November!

This place is Amazing. My friend & I did a Harry Potter themed photoshoot prior to visiting the…read morefarm so we were already dressed up to match the vibes. Unfortunately the shoot ran a bit later than expected so by time we arrived here we only had about 45 min to see/do as much a we could. The details & decor were so spot on! I loved it. The staff were so friendly and nice. They were also dressed up as well which was cool. I definitely want to go back just to shop & support the market overall! Meant to grab a jar of the spicy pickles & a few other things I saw but by time we got done exploring they were closing everything. The address leads you to the front of the farm but around the corner there's a bigger parking lot (but you should walk around to front so you don't miss anything!). Never heard of this place prior to this year but excited to see what theme they do next! (Or if they do HP again, I'd be cool w/ that too)

This is a nice little outdoor weekday market -- quality products and friendly vendors…read more I stopped by this market for the first time. It's open every Monday afternoon during the growing season. It's also conveniently located in the parking lot adjacent to Main Street in downtown Anoka. There weren't a lot of vendors but I think things will pickup as the season continues and as harvesting progresses. I recognized the bakery & jam lady from the Blaine market. This time I took a chance and tried some jalapeno jam -- she calls it "Jalapeno Heat" -- it was great! Stop by if you're in the area on Monday afternoon! -Daddy Maxx Retro

This is a must-go! While a bit far into the suburbs, they have an outstanding selection of apples…read morenormally available at the state fair, as well as plenty of gifts and treats to give and enjoy throughout the holiday season. In addition to some prepackaged goods, you can find UMN-made ice cream, syrup/honey, meats (eg. juicy Lucy patties!) and locally made fudge, strudel and pies. When the weather is warm at least, there is also a truck selling North Star apple cider donuts.

First time to the Applehouse and it reminds me of a very small version of the Largest Candy Store…read morein Jordan. They were rotating out their fall products on the day we visited so it was in our favor because we love fall and bought items at 50% off! The staff was nice. The Northstar Apple Cider donuts food truck was yet open when we were there. They gave a few apple varieties that you can't find in the grocery stores like frostbite, triumph, snow sweet, Sonya, and fireside so we got one of each of these varieties. We got some jelly and bread mixes. Good foliage view

A lovely local farmers market which is open each Wednesday afternoon. We've enjoyed flowers,…read moreveggies, ice cream, trail mix, and baked goods so far from various vendors, all of which have been fantastic. We still have a host of others to try. There is often live music and a really relaxed community vibe. A highlight was the week there was a plant exchange and we were able to swap cuttings and add a monstera to our collection. Prices are reasonable and it's not too busy most days.

Midtown has a great local feeling when compared to other markets in the area. There is just a…read moregreat neighborhood atmosphere of local farmers and artisans coming to sell their goods. 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.

My favorite farm share place in the cities! I had heard of TGA a few years back when I received a…read moregift certificate to take a cooking class. Dang pandemic, I have not yet been able to take a cooking class, but once those restrictions lift, I will be there for sure! The options to get yummy, local produce here are robust. Last summer (2020), I was too late on the ball to get a full season farm share, so I got a once a month "grill box", which came with a meat to grill and a smaller assortment of veggies. How amazing those 3 boxes were. Over the winter, I also got a couple of the "off season" boxes, which included mostly cheese, jams, and other freshly canned or frozen goodies. I signed up for both the full season share and grill box this summer as well and have yet to be disappointed. TGA also does a lot of good in the community. You can spend a little extra and give a farm share to those in need, student shares are also available, and everything is local. The manager there (I think her name is Karin) is also fantastic. I have missed the pick-up window or written down the wrong pick-up date on more occasions than I am willing to admit and I always still get what I need. Overall, just a great business offering a great product.

The Good Acre is a nonprofit organization who's mission is to strengthen and connect farmers and…read morecommunities through good food. I was first introduced to this place through my daughter. She had signed up for their CSA program last summer and we attended an event there last the fall. They also have a commercial kitchen for rental for small businesses and offer a variety of cooking classes (that are open to the public). I don't really want to say this too loud cause it's my best kept secret!! I recently took part in several of their cooking classes with my daughter (of course)! I found both classes to be very fun and informative. We took a class called "Curry in a Hurry" and "Korean BBQ" both lead by Chef Yia Vang (owner of Union Kitchen). First he demonstrated a few things but then we set up in stations and starting following the recipe and cooking/grilling ourselves. Both were a really awesome experience. Chef Yia was always nearby to ask questions if we needed anything. I like how casual things feel and how welcoming the staff are. Can't wait to come back for another class soon!

My first visit to the newly established New Life Ramsey Farmer's Market - definitely worth the stop…read moreif you're in the area! I was impressed with this new market. Despite recently opening, they already have a lot of vendors. More vendors are on the way (especially produce) as crops continue to grow throughout the season. There was a really interesting variety of vendors. They were all super cheery, excited, and friendly - nice! The market is easy to find, right off the main road, 47 (aka St. Francis Boulevard). The church parking lot is huge, no problem with parking whatsoever. The frosting on the cake - a food truck arrived later in the market, "Thai 1 On". They cooked up piping hot Thai Food. It tried some - it was great. Keep up the good work, New Life Ramsey market! I'll definitely be back next Saturday. Thumbs up! -Daddy Maxx Retro
