The Mill City Farmers Market is a Minneapolis marketplace offering local and sustainable groceries. Founded in 2006 by chef Brenda Langton and the Mill City Museum, the market hosts over 100 local vendors including farmers, food producers, and artists.
The market operates year-round, with outdoor markets from May through October next to the Guthrie Theater. The indoor winter market takes place at Mill City Museum from November through April, with 35+ rotating vendors.
Shoppers can find fresh organic produce, flowers, and herbs from numerous local farms, along with specialty items like mushrooms, berries, and hazelnuts. The market features a variety of prepared foods including breads, pastries, empanadas, pizza, and Middle Eastern specialties, plus beverages like coffee, tea, kombucha, and fresh juices. Local meat and dairy options include farm-raised meats, wild-caught salmon, and artisanal cheeses. The market also carries specialty products such as pickles, fermented foods, jams, chocolates, and even dog treats. Click here for an updated weekly vendor list.
Beyond fresh produce and goods, the market provides free cooking demonstrations, children’s activities, educational programs, live music, and outdoor yoga. The market is located on Dakota Land, near Owamni (St. Anthony Falls) and the Mississippi River.
