The Team Making Your Market Experience Special

The Minneapolis Farmers Market thrives thanks to our dedicated team of passionate individuals.

The market and CMVGA's charitable fund are operated by our small but mighty team alongside our 6-member board and a rotating team of seasonal staff members and volunteers. 

Minneapolis Farmers Market veggies

The Minneapolis Market is a community resource, meeting place, tourist draw—and perhaps most, important—a place to get the greatest selection of fresh and local plants and produce with more than two hundred growers on the weekend, it is the largest Farmer/Producer managed market in the state.

The Minneapolis Farmers Market connects growers to gardeners and eaters and that connection is what makes it so unique compared to the average shopping experiences. It’s a place where you can experience your food, hear about where it came from, how it was treated, and even get ideas on how to prepare it—directly from the grower.

Make a gift today or buy some Market swag and help keep the Market thriving!
