Did you know it’s National Farmer’s Market Week? It’s true. If you haven’t been to your local farmer’s market yet this year, now is a perfect time to visit. It’s harvest time for a lot of local edibles, not the least of which (as Connie pointed out in the last post) is tomatoes.

There are nearly 90 farmer’s markets in Minnesota. If you want to catch one today, try the Midtown Farmer’s Market at Lake and 22nd Ave. in Minneapolis from 3:30-7:30 p.m.

Busy today? You might like to see the whole list of Minnesota farmer’s markets. You can even search by day of the week and then zoom in to your location to see what farmer’s markets are available near you.

Do you have a favorite market or vendor? What’s your experience at farmer’s markets been like? Do you do regular shopping at one, or it is more of an outing where buying produce or products is secondary to the experience?
