Midtown Farmers Market Hires New Assistant Manager!
The Midtown Farmers Market is please to announce that Heidi Eger has been hired as our new Assistant Manager! Heidi loves food, farmers markets, and playing in the dirt. She has spent the last three years combining these loves while managing the Student Organic Garden at the University of Minnesota, Morris, running the information booth at the Morris Area Farmers Market, and serving as a Local Foods Minnesota GreenCorps member. She graduated from the University of Minnesota, Morris with a degree in Environmental Science and is excited to be living in Minneapolis after 4 years in beautiful rural Minnesota. Heidi has shared that she’s “looking forward to getting to know the Midtown Farmers Market community and can’t think of a better way to spend a Tuesday afternoon or Saturday morning!”
When not thinking about local food systems, Heidi enjoys reading, knitting, square dancing, and exploring the great outdoors. Most recently, she has embraced the challenge of converting her roommate to the cooking life.

Contribute Today.
The Midtown Market strives to bring sustainable, affordable food to the community. While there's no roof over an outdoor market, the Market still has overhead expenses: as farmers are busy growing the vegetables and fruits, market staff are hard at work on the nuts and bolts of making a market run. Administering the EBT access, providing a stage for local performers, even the signs and maintaining the parking lot where it all happens takes money and staff time.
Vendor fees only cover half of the cost of running the Market. We rely on the community to contribute the rest. Please donate today!
Online contributions are quick, easy and secure. The Midtown Farmers Market is a project of the Corcoran Neighborhood Organization — please designate your donation to the Market. The Midtown Farmers Market is a 501(c)3. Learn more about what it means to be a Friend of the Market here.
