The farmers markets in Minnesota are finally open and selling all kinds of great vegetables, berries, herbs and flowers. There is nothing like fresh vegetables from the market. Most of the markets are open one day during the week and Saturday morning til noon. The things that you traditionally find at a farmers market has expanded to include eggs, fresh baked bread, jams & jellies, cheese, pickles, meats and canned goods. Some farmers markets also sell prepared foods such as the one in Minneapolis under the bridge that sells huge cinnamon buns, sausage sandwiches, corn on the cob, Carmel corn and fresh lemonade.

Festival of Farms (TM)
Festival of Farms (TM) is an opportunity to learn about sustainable agriculture, network within the community, and have fun at various farms across the state. The Festival is unique to each chapter of the Sustainable Farming Association of Minnesota (SFA, the event sponsor), but the goal is the same – to build a unified sense of SFA’s presence in communities across Minnesota and tighten connections within the local food community.
See http://www.sfa-mn.org/festival_of_farms.php for more details and for links to maps and agendas.For more information, contact:
