Editorial Review for Minneapolis Farmers' Market – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Early spring finds the market filled with an array of plants and flowers. As the summer season kicks in, the market offers every variety of fruit, vegetable and blooming flower you could want. Come late August, it proclaims the season's bounty in endless rows of fresh, Minnesota-grown produce. The place takes on an almost carnival-like atmosphere on the weekends, complete with Peruvian music, arts and crafts vendors and more food vendors than on the weekdays.

The Saturday morning Farmers' Market is a blast. I love the fresh produce (even if it is cheaper at the grocery store sometimes), I love the flowers (i only wish someone had orchids down there), I love the arts and crafts (inexpensive trinkets, and thrift oddities abound), I love the people watching (nothing beats watching a dad try and cram a loaded Chicago style hotdog down a toddler's throat), and the atmosphere is fun. Personal favorites are the guys selling bulk tamales, the Wisconsin Honey Guy, the olive bar, and the soap makers...all in the middle paddock.
Pros: Flowers, Fresh everything
Cons: Crowded?
