Selected Sundays, April - Oct, 7:30am - 1:30pm Imagine a special place at the Market just for artists and craftsmen. A place for them to showcase their work and gain a wider audience. A place for patrons to find something new and unique. We make it easy, just look for the Artists and Craftsmen under the special blue tents, or under their own tents, in the Paper Depot lot on selected Sundays!

We are always looking for new vendors. People with an entrepreneurial spirit who want to carve out their piece of the American Dream.

Saturday and Sunday, April 28 - June 3, 6:30am - 1:30pm
What We Offer The Farmers Market Annex is extending opportunities to rent premium vendor stall locations for the month of May and early June. These spaces are only available because the Minnesota farmers do not start to bring in their crops until mid-June, which gives you the unique opportunity to sell your merchandise or services from premium, high volume locations.
What You Get Weekends from April 30th to June 5th, you will get the same premium location for the entire six week period. People will get to know you and will be easily able to find you again for repeat sales.
We find that people in Minnesota want to get out and enjoy the spring weather and are looking for places to shop and spend some time outdoors, and our Market is the perfect solution for them. The Market is full of spring bedding plants and hanging baskets, etc, and customer traffic is high. We see our customer counts increase as the weather improves, peaking with the Mother’s Day weekend.
What It Costs The cost is just $750 for these six weeks, and that includes our $150 Annual Membership Fee so you’ll have access to weekends at the Market for the entire season if you choose to come back. Plus, this is a savings of $50 off our normal weekend rates for a six weeke period!

Artists and Craftsmen
There's something about meeting the artist that makes the creation more meaningful. You can't do that at a mass retailer, but you can meet our craftsmen. Maybe even commission something special. Uniquely yours! vendor profiles
Fresh Cut Flower Sellers We have a growing reputation for bringing you some of the freshest, most beautiful cut flowers, both from local growers and our own Market Flowers. Flowers make you smile just because. Ah, come on! You'll be glad you did. vendor profiles
Growers
Come and experience how really good fresh fruits and vegetables can be. It's the concept of slow food. Grown by local farmers, ripened naturally in the sun, harvested and sold to you at it's peak. Why did we ever get away from that? You'll never go back! vendor profiles
Specialty Resellers
Our resellers are passionate about finding unique and wonderful products to carry. They scan the globe for that just right 'something' so you don't have to, and then they offer it to you at a great price. Aren't you lucky? vendor profiles
