THE HARVEST CONTINUES AT

MILL CITY FARMERS MARKET

ANNOUNCING MONTHLY WINTER MARKETS (Nov-Apr) inside the Mill City Museum!

MINNEAPOLIS (October 30, 2014) Another fantastic Mill City Farmers Market Outdoor Season has drawn to a close with this past Saturdays Harvest Festival (October 25^th). But this is no time for goodbyes - Starting Saturday, November 8^th, the Mill City Farmers Market moves indoors with over 40 of its fabulous vendors in a vibrant marketplace full of quality, locally produced, homegrown products. From 10 am to 1 pm, visitors can choose from an abundance of fresh produce, locally milled grains and flours, preserves, artisan cheeses, pastured meats, beautifully crafted ceramics, kitchen utensils, jewelry, and much more.

Each Winter Market brings a unique celebration of seasonal offerings. On November 22^nd, we are holding a special holiday market so customers can pick up all the fixings needed for an unforgettable Thanksgiving meal. On December 13^th, we will be your one-stop shop for your holiday needs, including holiday trees and wreaths! The January 10^th Market will highlight many of our local artisans and value-added products, and the February 14^th Market comes just in time to get that special something for your special someone on Valentines Day. In March, we will have two back-to-back spring markets: on March 7^th get ready to take a day trip out west to the MN Landscape Arboretum for a unique marketplace with over 40 of our vendors, and on March 14^th we will back at home inside the Museum. Our final indoor market on April 11^th will showcase the first signs of Spring and lead us right into our regular Outdoor Market season, opening Mothers Day weekend!
