Are YOU our Number One Fan?

August 1 - 7 is National Farmers Market Week. In that spirit, here at the Minneapolis Farmers' Market we want to know who is our number one fan! Be creative with your entires. Shoot short videos while at the Market, take photos next to your favorite farmer and write out the story of why you shop the Minneapolis Farmers Market. Submissions will be accepted via e-mail at contest@mplsfarmersmarket.com. Your story will be shared on our blog and on our Facebook page for people to vote on.

So, you started coming here with your grandmother – now you bring your grandchildren. Shopping the Market has been a place for you to go every Saturday morning to relax and unwind from the work week. You and your sweetie met at the Market 30 years ago and you meet them here every Sunday.

Tell us your story. What has the Market meant to you over the years? Who is your favorite grower? What's your secret to shopping the Market?

Our Fresh & Local Radio Show on AM950 will be accepting entries until August 11 and sharing customer submissions on the air during the July 31 and August 7 shows. Voting will begin on our blog on August 15. The winner will be announced just in time for the State Fair on August 23. 

If YOU are chosen as the #1 Fan, get ready for your guest appearance on the LIVE Fresh & Local Radio Show on Saturday, August 28, at the MN State Fair! You can take part in the conversation or simply watch our live broadcast and meet our radio show host Susan Berkson and co-host Minnesota Herb Lady, Bonnie Dehn.

You will also receive a prize pack which includes two tickets into the State Fair good on Saturday, August 28, a coupon book to use at the Fair, a $25 gift certificate for the Minneapolis Farmers Market North Lyndale location and a Farmers Market shopping bag to fit your bounty in.

Happy story sharing!
