THE LATEST AT MIDTOWN
The Midtown Farmers Market creates a vibrant space in South Minneapolis that connects residents and local food producers in a beautiful, beneficial economic and cultural exchange. The Midtown Farmers Market is a community-based food system that assures equitable access to healthy, locally produced food, supports reinvestment in the community, and provides for the long-term viability of our foodshed.
It has been a great year at the Midtown Farmers Market; cultural and special event days have been celebrated, musicians and spoken word poets have moved us, neighbors have convened, conversations, laughter, food, drink, song and dance have been shared, new recipes have been tried, heat waves, rainstorms and windstorms have been weathered, and heaps of fresh, healthy, local food and art have been bought, sold, and enjoyed by our conscientious community.
Don’t miss out on early bird Fundraiser Brunch tickets! Purchase tickets for $20 at the market this week and next, or buy online here. You’ll receive a made-to-order brunch donated by a bunch of our wonderful vendors – Kabomelette, Fireroast Coffee, Asa’s Red Wheat Bakery, Akshay Paatram, and more! Bid on fabulous items in the silent auction, all while the Juglsuggers kick your morning off right with some tunes, AND you can feel good about supporting your market. We dare you to find a better way to spend your Sunday morning! See you on September 23rd at Moon Palace Books (10am-1pm).
We are sad to announce that today’s market has been cancelled due to thunderstorms in the forecast. Stay dry and we’ll see you Saturday for the East African Cultural Celebration!
