Farmers Market Returns Same Time Next Year

The University of Minnesota Farmers Market closed for the season on October 5, 2011. Its three-month run concluded with the full flavors of fall — everything from apples to pumpkins to tomatoes to zucchini and other kinds of squash. The market will return for an eighth season in summer 2012. As is the tradition, the market will be held rain or shine, every Wednesday from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. through early October. Vendors sell locally grown produce and fresh flowers on the Church Street pedestrian mall, East Bank campus.

A Bountiful Apple Harvest

When the market concluded its seventh season, apples of different varieties (Haralson, Honeycrisp, Cortland, and William's Pride to name a few) were available for purchase. Should you need fresh menu-planning ideas, check out our collection of recipes to get step-by-step instructions to make the most of the fruits and veggies you buy.

Green and Locally Grown

From field to fork and garden to dinner plate, the market offers produce and flowers that have been grown within a 2.5 hour radius of the Twin Cities. Cornercopia, a University of Minnesota student-managed farm, is the only organically-grown produce vendor. Until the arrival of the first, hard frost in Minnesota, Cornercopia will continue to sell produce on Wednesdays at the Andrew Boss Meat Lab on the St. Paul campus.

Remember!  When you shop at the market bring along a re-useable bag to tote your market goods. Also bring small bills to pay with cash.
