Minneapolis Farmers Market on Lyndale

The Minneapolis Farmers Market on Lyndale is the largest farmer-managed farmers market in Minnesota, with a rich history dating back to 1876 when it first opened in downtown Minneapolis before relocating to its current location at Lyndale and Glenwood Avenue North in 1937. Operating Wednesday through Sunday (7 AM to 1 PM weekdays and 6 AM to 1 PM weekends), this market features well over 100 vendors—some with over five generations of local farming experience—under the iconic red sheds that protect shoppers and farmers from the elements. The market boasts one of the most diverse collections of market vendors in the Upper Midwest, with vendors hailing from all over the world including Laos, Trinidad, and California. With over 170 permanent and rotating vendors, shoppers will find the full rainbow of local produce, flowers and plants, plus eggs, locally raised beef, pork, buffalo, poultry, goat, lamb, fresh and smoked trout, Alaskan salmon, codfish, baked goods, hummus, maple syrup, honey, pickles, artisan cheeses, jams, jellies, wild rice, and pasta. The market offers abundant free parking and serves as a cornerstone of Minneapolis' local food system.
