Reviews for: Midtown Farmers' Market

Because...Midtown Farmers sing their song, doo dah, doo dah, Midtown Farmers nine miles long O de doo dah day, Oh the farmers farm, but don't be alarmed they're up midmorn until middusk O de doo dah day!!

Midtown Farmer's Market is energizing and impacting local and organic food streams and sustainability way beyond the neighborhood it serves.

I think Farmer's Markets are a great way to support to local farmers and local businesses. Fresh produce from your own area is the best way to go!!!

So much fun for families from a bite to eat, great music and yummy local food for the week.

Great atmosphere, music, great farmers/growers, close by, friendly, good prices, my community.

I love the Midtown Farmers' Market because the farmers are great, they have great food to share and I can see friends and neighbors there.

I support all local farmer's markets! My friend Gerry has asked for my support.

ANY local farmers market is an asset to the community. I buy all my meat, eggs and veggies from mine.

My daughter is very supportive of her local community, and after meeting the director of the Midtown Market, I find supporting this effort to be a worthy cause.

I believe in going back to the basics...farming. Not only is it healthy but our farms here in the Midwest need our support. Besides Minnesota is my favorite state since Brett Farve became a Viking (hee hee)

I love being able to get fresh produce on a Tuesday evening. The live music got my toes a tapping.

Itis close by, a nice compact size and always offers lots of interesting fruits, vegetables, plants, and even crafts.

"Cause it rocks! Farmers from just outside our metro area - where you can actually have cattle, farms, tractors and what-not - come to us and sell their goods. It feels more village-like and makes it a little easier to forget that we live in a metropolis. Love it!

Not only does the MidTown Farmers's Market have a great selection of local vendors and producers, they also have story time for the kids and plenty of room to navigate a stroller. It's the perfect family desitination!

I visit Midtown Farmers' Market every year when I visit my daughter in Minneapolis. It's wonderful!

My sister-in-law is a vendor. The customers and vendors are the friendliest around.

This is a market begun by a samll group of neighborhood enthusiasts who wanted more for the people of their neigborhood and those who live in South Minneapolis. Because of its variety, personalbe farmers, entusiastic shoppers, it has developed into a true market for all of Minneapolis. People and good food reign! So many good volunteers building community!

It's the greatest. Everything you could want in a market and close to home with easy parking and relaxed atmosphere. I love the market!

I LIKE THE CLEAN AND FUN MARKET. THE PRODUCE IS CLEAN, WELL KEPT, AND FAIRLY PRICED. IT IS A FUN DAY. THANKS MIDTOWN FARMERS' MARKET IN MPLS, MN.

they only have LOCAL foods and a wonderful selection. all of the volunteers are friendly and helpful

cause its a real neighborhood market in a location where a market is really needed!

enjoyed while visiting friends this past summer and hope to move there in the coming year or two.

I went to the market once when I was in town visiting some old friends. Loved it - the diversity, the good eats, the fresh vegetables. I look forward to seeing it again.

I love the variety of vendors, great location. The "vibe" of the market rocks!

I love the Midtown Farmers' Market because it is truly local - neighborhood-supported, neighborhood vendors and sponsors, and great food.

wow!! is there anything better than a farmer's market in your own neighborhood?? and midtown is friendly and close and always has great quality!!

It's nice having local food readily available, and the people there are really nice!

I can ride my bike there, the farmers have beautiful produce, Molla's crepes are the best breakfast loaded with local produce and cheese, I always run into someone I want to see, and once a year I volunteer at the Master Gardener's booth and learn from everyone,

It not only has wonderful products but is really family friendly, especially on the weekends. It's convenient to several bus lines and our light rail service. They've figured out how to do WIC, charge cards, and other non-cash transactions in a simple manner.

(1) Midtown has fantastic farmers; (2) there is easy access from the train (or bus) - helps shoppers reduce their carbon footprint; (3) my 3-year-old loves story time there; (4) convenient to the YWCA; (5) multiple days open each week; (6) great music on stage every Sat.; (7) wonderful to have this in my neighborhood!

Excellent assortment of shops. On bus line. Great old building. Hotel right there. Revitalized a section of town that needed new business.

Because they are bringing something positiveÂ?and deliciousÂ?into our community!

They always have a high selection of quality organic local farmers and different specialty vendors and performers every week.

Great FM, centrally located, easily accessible, serving a diverse urban population.

The location is great providing a community glue that doesn't require an automobile. Access to lightrail, busses, and the bicycle greenway are great. not to forget good products at a reasonable price.

Awesome music and food and the people are great. They've also done great work to help reach out beyond the usual farmers market crowd and bring good food to low income families in the area.

It's not just the food, it's the fun! I like talking with the local farmers. I like the quirky, artistic products as well as the staples. Another draw is Anne Sawyer and other local artists providing entertainment.

Supporting local Farmers, eating fresh food are the cornerstones to a healthy community and ones own body.

it's great to have fresh local food so close to home! I want to eat all localy grown food.

The selection is always diverse and fresh--I'm a huge fan of the flowers; better than any can purchase in a florists and I always learn something when I visit.

It brings out the best in our beloved Twin Cities! Being on the expanding Light Rail line and just off the Greenway, it also exemplifies our focus on pedestrian friendly, community activities!!

While there are a plethora of farmers markets in the Twin Cities, the midtown is my favorite for all their extras - the music, their integration into, education of and attention to our diverse local communities, and of course for all the excellent meat, breads, produce.

We love the sense of community Midtown FM provides. The farmers and businesses are local. Everyone cares about making the place we live a little better.

fresh tamales... delicious coffee... great music... produce, free range chickens... it is a great way to connect with neighbors.

Because everything's local, unique, and delicious. And it's in a neighborhood that REALLY needs farmers' market.

I recently moved to the Philips neighborhood, where there is limited access to fresh and local fruits and vegetables. I was thrilled to hear about the Midtown market, and am impressed with the neighborhood organization behind it!

I love the food and the ambiance at the market. What a great community gathering place!

Great LOCAL and organic produce and local meats! It's location conveniently makes this food accessible to people of many different incomes levels and it's on a busline. I love having the market on Tues. evenings, too!

It is close, convenient, has a wide variety of fresh food and flowers and gifts in the heart of our city! It is friendly!

The quality, the variety, the aliveness, the people. It is the best place in the cities to experience LIFE!

They've captured the essense of the meaning of the term: farmer's market. Grassroots vibe, great products and people.

It is a great small market, easily accessible, great vendors and farmers and produce, and has a small town community feel to it.

I support Midtown Farmers Market because of its diversity,fresh produce, its located where I live, and also because they asked me to voice my appreciation. I think its important to have a good farmers market in an area where the soil has been contaminated.

Midtown Farmers' Market in Mpls is a community gathering point, provides access to fresh and local veggies to low and moderate income urban families, and is a shining example of community-inspired leadership and sustainability.

I play music there and love seeing all the people gathering and running into neighbors on a Saturday morning. Great vibe!

It is in my community, the size feels right because it is not too big, and, my 12-year-old daughter was allowed to practice her entrepenurial skills there!

In my neighborhood, great produce and vendors. Feels safe. Friendly people. I love it!

My daughter loves it and will eat veggies she helps buy. It is a fun family outing.

I work across the street from Midtown Farmers' Market and the accessibility for lunch, for meetings, for shopping, and for all the fresh vegies and fruit is fantastic. There is a diversity of vendors and offerings that I have not seen anywhere else in Minneapolis. And Minnesota Nice is not just a saying when you go there, it is practiced by everyone I have met there. #1 in my book.

Real local farmers, sustainable and organic minded. A location for the people, in a living, bustling neighborhood in Minneapolis. Great access by bike and public transit, and the only market in Minnesota that accepts EBT!

Because they are one of the first to accept EBT/Food Support- this is very very important! Thanks

It's conveniently located close to my house. The produce is fresh and affordable, and the people are friendly!

Great food; it supports local farmers; it serves and supports the larger local community. What better reasons?!

I think it brings wonderful, delicious food to a community that needs it! Go Local!! It does a great job at bringing a community together.

It is a very neighborhood type market that supports local growers, the cultural communities it is a part of, accessible to a large part of the south minneapolis residents and is just a very positive atmosphere that makes the community a better place and allows neighbors to connect with one another while supporting local growers and healthy lifestyles.

It helps bring an end to the lack of fresh, nutritious foods in urban Minnesota

I have been coming to this market in my neighborhood since it began. It has been marvelous to watch it grow and to get to know the vendors and see my friends and neighbors each Saturday, I appreciate that the goods are local, handmade a, often organic , always sustainably produced. The location is ideal for all kinds of transportation. Music, food and goods to buy, great things to eat! Wonderful people and a small local market. The best.

I love being able to buy affordable produce from the people who grow it. I feel connected to my food this way. I also love that Midtown is near my neighborhood. To be able to purchase local produce in the heart of the city is a gift and a pleasure.

It is close to my house. It is by the YWCA where I regularly work out. I love the produce. It is a convenient times. The venders are friendly and courteous. I like the atmosphere at the market.

It's close to my home, small and friendly. You can eat made-to-order fresh crepes, drink great coffee, and listen to local music. All while shopping for fresh food, garden plants and art. What more could you want?

It is walking distance from our home, in a diverse neighborhood & on major bus routes.

I love that it is easy to get in and out quickly versus the big markets and that it is so close to home, I can bike.

They have friendly people serving people. fresh produce is always welcomed in our home. all my family love fresh veggies thank you for having such a great selection of veggies.

They are biking distance from my house (no gas needed to get there!), the market builds our sense of community, they have fantastic music & activities as part of the market, it's very important to me to shop locally & to support local farmers, great selection of items for sale (from handmade sweaters to free-range meat to flowers to veggies). I love my farmer's market!

It's great! Lots of variety and fresh produce and other goodies. The folks are always so nice too!

I loved the Minneapolis Farmers' Market for decades when living in town! It's my marker for what a Farmers' Market should be, and do, and have.

Because all of the vendors are friendly with great products and the community is fab!

Love the produce and the urban setting. Also, it's close to my home in Saint Paul.

Brings in lots of local farmers every week! Great Saturday morning ritual complete with amazing food, fun people and great music

I love the market because it provides an opportunity for local families to get outside together, and put their money toward a good cause.

Wonderful items. Fresh and varied. Our daughter shops there regularly and brings stuff home to us! #;oD

Great stuff...food vendors, arts & crafts--where else can you sit and sip a root beer and listen to an accordion and saw?

It is so handy to have fresh produce right up the street as a reasonable price. Very handy and very fun to go to!

Because this market lies within walking distance of many poor folks who do not have access to organic produce any other way. It creates a positive feeling of community right in the heart of one of the diciest areas south of downtown, and brings joy, music, art, and respect for people's handiwork back into their lives. It's super accessible by LRT and bus, and it's a great focus for the creative energies of the community--alsoa role model for kids as to what commerce really is, and what entrepenuership looks like in action.

I love Midtown Farmers' Market because it's within walking/biking distance from my house, and they have wonderful produce, meat, and cheese!

The fabulous vendors, the friendly shoppers and the lively spirit makes this the place to me for me!

The Midtown market plays a vital role in increasing access to fresh, affordable produce in a neighborhood whose residents come from diverse economic circumstance. It's location is ideal for those who commute via public transportation, as it is within walking distance of major bus lines and the light rail.

It's super great and the farmers are all really nice. I really like the diversity too.

Supporting Locally grown! The Greenest Way to buy Food! Bioregionalism The Healthiest Way to Buy Food! LUV!

The vendors are great and the produce is always wonderful! Plus, it is great to have such wonderful products so close to my house! They definitely deserve this award!

because local produce is much tastier than product poison filled and sprayed veggies and fruits from some other country.

It's a great LOCAL market - everything is fresh and local - fun music and great food.

Locally grown food,good service.Its fun to be there,no major parking hassles.They have good crepes!!

Locally grown food with a good variety. Some certified organic vendors. Free Range Eggs are the BEST! Fresh and affordable.

Because access to fresh affordable produce is vital to the health of all people.

They are community centered. They are active in promoting a diverse food market culture of healthy food for their clients.

It is a fantastic neighborhood market with not only great local food, but great entertainment and workshops to promote urban sustainability lifestyle issues. It's a great neighborhood gathering place.

I love the diversity of the folks and the foods, I love it for snacking and for stocking up. The vendors are ALL nice and friendly, and its so close to everything. Its the best.

its a wonderful mix of vendors that creates a lovely saturday morning experience.

It is close to me, and I like to purchase produce there when I can. When there was only the farmer's market just off of 55 near downtown, I rarely got there. Now I can bike there.
