Farmers Market Opens for Season

The University of Minnesota Farmers Market opens its fourth season this summer on July 9, 2008. The market is held every Wednesday, rain or shine, on Church Street, on the East Bank, and runs from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. We are looking forward to seeing you there.

Bringing Fresh Produce and Flowers to Campus

The University of Minnesota Farmers Market features vendors who have been contracted to sell locally grown produce, berries, and fresh flowers. Visitors to the market can also purchase maple syrup and apples from the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.

In addition to locally grown produce, visitors to the market can receive a complimentary tote bag while supplies last. Sponsored by the Office of Human Resources, Employee Wellness Program, the market brings fresh fruit and veggies to the Twin Cities campus to promote a healthy workplace and a healthy lifestyle for employees, students, and people from the surrounding neighborhoods.
