The Rochester Downtown Farmers Market has a fantastic selection of locally grown foods from our Southeastern Minnesota farmers and growers. We are open Saturdays, 7:30 AM until Noon, May through October, and sell a huge variety of vegetables, fruits, meats, breads, plants, baked goods, honey and preserves, and fresh cut flowers. Check our website for special events and performances by local musicians that highlight our summer months, including guest chefs, demos, and Kids Day at the Market. Buy local, support your community!!!
Our indoor Winter Market is held November - April at Building 41, Olmsted County Fairgrounds, just a short distance south of downtown Rochester. Winter market schedules are posted on our website beginning in late September of each year.

This market has everything a person could want. The colorful array of product makes one want to buy. The people are always friendly and cheerful, making it feel like a family outing.
We love it and it's getting bigger and stronger. There's nothing like a Farmers' Market.
This is the largest Farmers Market event that I have seen that exudes quality yet has exemplary quantities of local vendors.
