Minnesota summers are magical... especially in the Twin Cities, and that's why folks flock to the Minneapolis Farmers Market. Minneapolitans come out of hibernation, and for solid three months, we take advantage of everything the city has to offer: from lakes to hiking trails, patios to outdoor flea markets. It is located just north of downtown off of Lyndale, and it is the perfect space to shop for all of your local produce and flowers - and it also happens to be the place to snag some of the coolest flea-market finds in the city.
The Farmers Market has a wide selection of fresh produce for patrons to choose from.
As you walk the stalls, you can choose your favorite vendor and find the produce and price that is right for you. A majority of local farmers sell small baskets of produce priced as two for $5.
Beautiful floral bouquets line entrances to stalls throughout the market.
Many farmers arrange their bouquets in unexpected ways, including using decorative kale as green foliage within them. If you're into more classic styles, there are always plenty to choose from. Tulips are definitely the most popular choice in Spring.
This farmers market is the largest in Minneapolis.
The Minneapolis Farmers Market is a permanent installation, unlike any other in the area. From May to November, the Lyndale location is open daily from 6:00 AM to 1:00 PM. There are a ton of opportunities for everyone to visit!
