The month of June at the Midtown Farmers Market is an exciting time as we enter summer and stalls begin to fill with produce. Strawberries will be arriving, the weather will be heating up, and there will be lots of activity at the market. Along with the ever growing selection of produce there will also be plenty of great programming at the market this month as well. We’ll be celebrating Bees and Pollinators on June 10th and the African American community on June 24th. The 24th will also include the second installment of our Summer Poetry Series at the market. There will also be a 2nd Saturday Arts for All activity on the 10th, along with Market Science activities and gardening advice from Hennepin County Master Gardeners each week.
Some of the great items you can expect to find at the market in the month of June include: strawberries, spinach, kale, lettuces, green onions, radishes, peas, green beans, broccoli, kohlrabi, sprouts, rhubarb, bedding plants, free range chicken, grass fed beef, pasture raised pork and lamb, eggs, cheese, butter, honey, maple syrup, jellies and jams, baked goods, omelets, kabobs, tamales, samosas, Himalayan momos, coffee, lassis, bubble tea, and a variety of local arts and crafts.
The Midtown Farmers Market is located at the corner of East Lake Street and Hiawatha Ave, directly adjacent to the Midtown/Lake St. LRT stop at 2225 E. Lake Street and offers fresh, local foods every Saturday 8:00am-1:00pm from May-June and Tuesday from 3:00pm-7:00pm June-October.
