Southwest Metro Farmers Markets

A handy guide to farmers markets across the southwest metropolitan region.

I absolutely love farmers markets. I love buying directly from the producer and the fact that my money goes directly to them and stays in our local economy.

I used to work in downtown Minneapolis. Among the many pre-COVID delights of working downtown was the lunchtime strolls down Nicollet Mall through the countless stands selling produce and goods.

The fresh produce. The artisinal products from local vendors. The variety. The atmosphere.

But we don’t have to travel to Minneapolis to enjoy the delights of farmers makets. We have plenty of them here in the southwest metro. I’ve compiled the details of as many of the southwest metro farmers markets as I could find below.
