Midtown Farmers Market

I did not get the full experience I actually came last minute looking for flowers. A plus about this farmers market is that they are open till 2:00pm where most close at 1:00pm. There is a portion of the parking lot that is reserved for farmers market goers which is nice, although I'm not sure how fast it fills up when they're at their busiest. I like the atmosphere, it had a pretty cool vibe to it.

What a true community space! Love that it’s in the heart of South Minneapolis and conveniently located next to the light rail. It’s small, but bursting with life. I appreciate that it appears less gentrified than other farmers markets. They accept EBT, and the crowd was diverse (wide range of ages, races, genders). I’ve only been one time, but I’m already looking forward to future trips. The stand-out food items were the beignets and the passion fruit bubble tea. They came from different stands, which I regrettably forget the names of, but you’ll be able to easily find them. The real highlight was the DJ. Having a DJ at a farmers market is a BRILLIANT idea! He set the exuberant tone with his disco, funk, and house hits. He was surrounded by his beaming family, and I was utterly charmed with him. Such a gem of a market!

This time of year has begun that makes many of us melancholic with it's cloudy and rainy days, but it is also the time of apples, honeycomb and pumpkins among other things with great cultural diversity, local products that are of great quality. Enjoy shopping while listening to music and drinking coffee on tuesday afternoons or saturday mornings.

Not a lot here in terms of produce, but there are a few things. There are a few great food options, empanadas and Indian food are worth the trip, plus the community events and right next store is arbeitor brewery with great seating and people watching. Hit this at least once a summer.

This is a very small market, but that is not a detriment at all. You can find so many good products here. It's like a microcosm of everything South Minneapolis has to offer off the grid. And there is always a local musician or DJ playing music. It creates the most homey neighborhood togetherness feeling

The camaraderie among the vendors as well as the patrons is exceptional., warm & inviting. Produce selection is so abundant and the quality first rate always. The eggrolls rule, as do the oversize omelets and the fresh homemade bread, coffee, the pastries , fresh corn, cheese, beef, lamb, so many choices!choices!!warm & fuzzy

This is THE BEST farmers market in the entire metro, trust me. Only real local vendors (no resellers) with a variety of goods, a little of everything and overwhelming. Always plenty of prepared food options, beverages, pastries and there's usually a couple of food trucks too. There's always live music playing, educational vendors and occasionally some free fitness or yoga and blood drive trucks. One of my favorite places to be on a Saturday morning in the city!

A treasure in the neighborhood! Abundant produce choices arranged in a space of manageable size if you are shopping with kids. Excellent food stands for a snack or a lunch. Bike parking, right by lightrail Blue Line and 21 Lake Street bus stops.

This is a good effort by the neighborhood to bring in local talent, and encourage support of the area economy. Limited hours (open Saturday in the summer until 1pm only) makes it less accessible than other markets that are open more often. Also, it is a tiny footprint and today (opening day for food trucks), there were really only about 6 food trucks present and maybe a dozen other vendors. This means you can cover it in a very short time which is good in some ways but disappointing in others. The 3 star rating in no way means it is a mediocre market. Just smaller and with fewer vendors than other area markets. I do love the artisans present that are so proud of their wares and products (as they should be) and the highlight today for me was the homemade pickle vendor and his Habanero brined spears. I bought a $9 tub from him and my group of 4 nearly polished them all off while walking around the market in a matter of about 15 minutes! No complaints about what is available here I just wish that there was more of it!

Midtown has a great local feeling when compared to other markets in the area. There is just a great 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.

The Midtown Farmer's Market is a nice neighborhood market during the summer months. It's nowhere near as big as the Minneapolis or St. Paul Farmer's Markets, but it has a nice selection of goods in an area seemingly under-served by local options. On any given week you're likely to find fresh produce, a few food stands/food trucks, some vendors selling various handmade items, live music, seedlings/plants for your garden and easy transit/parking options. The market is a bit tucked away from Lake Street, but is easily accessible and is located directly on the light rail stop and bike trails. Definitely worth hitting up on a Saturday morning to grab a few items to restock the pantry, garden and/or belly.

I think I am going to construct my bedroom onsite at the Midtown Farmers' Market. Honestly, there is no better way to start a Saturday then waking up and wandering around the Market. It's slowly becoming tradition around our household to rouse ourselves early on Saturday mornings in the summer and head to the market. Once there we might indulge in some fiendishly good Carnitas Tacos from Taco Taxi, delicious Bean Chili from the Magic Bus Cafe, tasty (albeit not briskly prepared) Arepas with greens, mushrooms, garlic, pickled onions and feta from Dandelion Kitchen, or wood-fired uncured Pepperoni and Carmelized Onion Pizza from Olive Pizza. Needless to say we enjoy breakfasting/brunching/lunching at the Market. The street food delights aside, the real focus of our weekly pilgrimage to the Market is the produce, cheese and meat offered by the farmers and vendors. What the Midtown Farmers' Market lacks in quantity it greatly exceeds in not only quality but in the ability to connect with local farmers/purveyors on a personal level. Absent from the Midtown Farmers' market is the goliath vendors of the Lyndale Market that sell bananas, kiwis, oranges and all other sorts of purchased produce from far outside the confines of MN/WI. Midtown Market farmers/vendors offer what the time of the season allows, and that which they offer has been nothing but excellent in our experiences with them. Yes, I'm preferential to the Midtown Farmers' Market partially due to its proximity to my home, but moreso than that I'm preferential to the Midtown Market for it's conscience, quality and diversity. And yes, that'll be me nestled warmly under my sheets beside the Taco Taxi.

I love this farmers market for the welcoming atmosphere in the heart of this diverse community. Great vendors and hot food options. It's not the biggest market in the city, and not even in my neighborhood, but it's the one that feels like home to me.

I really love everything about this farmers market. It's close enough to my house that I can easily walk there, yet the parking is convenient too for those days when I'm either short on time, energy, or just plan on getting enough stuff that it'd be difficult to carry home if I were walking. If you don't live in the neighborhood, it's conveniently located just steps from the Midtown light rail station, so there's another easy option if you don't want to walk/bike/drive. I love the fact that I get an email each week telling me what is going to be available at the market--it makes meal planning and grocery shopping so much easier! I love that it's open on Tuesdays from 3-7pm, to make up for those Saturday mornings when I sleep laaaaaate and miss out on my chance to get there before it closes at 1pm. Of course the produce is fabulous, and it's ALL local (unlike the main Minneapolis Farmers Market!). The breads from Bread Star Rising, salsas from Chip Magnet, local honey, and hand-rolled butter are also not to be missed. I'm not sure how they do it (probably with farm-fresh eggs) but the omelets are pretty much the best we've ever tasted. My boyfriend and I usually get croissants too...I can't recall who makes them, but we like to get a turkey & Swiss croissant and a chocolate croissant, both are phenomenal. This farmers market is nowhere near as large or as crowded as the main Minneapolis Farmers Market, and that's just another thing I love about it! It's easy to get in, get what you want, and get out and on with your life. Highly recommend!

This is my favorite farmer's market in the twin cities area hands down. The variety of fruit and veggies is amazing. The vendors are friendly and helpful and there are so many to choice from too if you don't at first see something you want. I think in addition to the actual food there the best part is the atmosphere. The cart vendors, music, and people really make the place. I would recommend going earlier rather than later and searching for parking and walking instead of paying for a lot. Farmers markets are just something you need to enjoy in person, really no words can describe going to pick your own produce and being able to converse with vendors.

Five stars..... Five for the Crepe Stand.....oh man....the lemon sugar crepes...and the creamed leek crepes...holy buckets batman and the homemade...hear that..HOMEMADE nutella crepes... Five for the celery and all the other amazing produce that Pflaum farms has Five for the fact that you can park, walk..and it's an easy market. Five for the fact that Pflaum farms had Fennel too Five for the cool heirloom tomatoes that you can find...red zebras, Black Cherokees...the tiny orange cherry tomatoes I bought this weekend...and the oh so fragrant bundle of marjoram.. Five for Tuesday nights when the oh-so-great Cool Coffee folks that are there from Public Coffeehouse..buy some of their beans.....!!!

Whoa, have I discovered my new favorite farmers' market! Their motto is: Fresh. Local. Flavor. I've tried to get into going to markets before, but the Lyndale one is a bit overwhelming for me and I don't like that it isn't always local products for sale and the Kingfield one has so few things. St. Paul is great, but too far from me to use on a weekly basis. I like midtown because it is lively- has a band playing, you can use credit cards!, has a wide variety of produce, meat, eggs, has things to eat right there and parking is never a problem. Prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is friendly. The crowd is diverse. One of the things I like most about this one is that it is open Saturday from 8-1 and Tuesdays from 3.30-7.30 so if I don't make it over on Saturday, I can still get there on Tuesdays. As with most markets, leave the pooch at home.

Ick! I'd have expected that on opening day it would be clean, that neighbors would pick up trash and there would not be pan handlers hustling the shoppers and accusing them of racism if they don't give them money. Totally not worth going to. Very limited parking too. Skip this. Go to Minneapolis farmers market!

Nice farmers market that has the typical veggie options and a few vendors that sell certain crafts. This is one of the smaller markets in the twin cities but still a great place with a lot of stuff. They also have live music and a couple of food vendors, Taco Taxi is usually there and another local Lake St. restaurant as well forgot who. There is ample parking in the large lot right next to the market, probably the easiest market to park and grab some veggies and get out. Right on the light rail too so very convenient location.

We love the farmer's market! This is heart-of-the-city stuff and the variety is always great. Opportunities to learn about the community, fantastic produce, fun vendors for food and wares, live music and more. The Farmer's Market makes Corcoran a gem in the city. If you live nearby and haven't been, make a point of it at your next opportunity - you will not be disappointed.

A nice, laid-back, smaller market. I am in the service industry, so I usually miss out on weekend farmers markets, and thus, I really appreciate the Tuesday market. Selection is good, vendors are friendly and knowledgeable, and it's easily accessible by a wide range of modes of transportation. I used to go well out of my way to go to this market, and when we moved to Powderhorn, one of my first thoughts was "yes! Now we're closer to the Midtown farmers market!" It makes me extra look forward to summer.

Great place to pick up local veggies and meats and flowers. A bit small with only a few ready-to-eat vendors.

This is such a great market! I have been coming here since the very beginning. They invest in the community and in their farmers and vendors. They have great entertainment and they do average earning of variety of vendors and farmers. I love that the Hmong Community is so well represented as they are a farming community and other farmers markets have a disproportionate amount of Hmong farmers considering how many Hmong farmers there are in Minnesota. They have worked very hard during the construction in the area to make sure Shoppers can still find them. There are so many products offered that I miss it greatly during the winter months!
