| Greetings! | 
August 5th Already?!?
All right. It's not quite time for Santa Claus but the summer sure is going by quickly! We still have a lot going on here at the Farmers Market Annex so be sure to include us on your list of stops this weekend. And in case you're wondering, Santa will be here this weekend, Hawaiian shirt and all, to interact with the kids and have people sign up for the drawing at our next big Kids Day on August 28th. You have a picture with Santa from last Christmas but how about Santa in his summer garb? Be sure to keep up with What's Going On on our website! |
Papa Fierro's New Market Specialty ~ Basil Pesto ~
| 
Brand new this weekend and here only for a short time is Papa Fierro's original recipe Basil Pesto. Made with the freshest of ingredients found right here at the Market, it's a new reason to stop by his stand and sample the farm-fresh goodness!
So good that you'll want to come back for more, week after week. Fresh. Local. Farmers Market Quality. Nice!

Imported all the way from Iowa! Mike's Knives brings you a great selection of Rada cutlery. Surgical stainless steel blades with a full tang ~ means no rivets to loosen up over time ~ and an anodized aluminum handle. They have about any specialty knife you will need, including paring, cheese, steak, bread, and more. The prices for single knives range from $5.75 to $18 ~ you can get a whole set for $15 to $55. And you just can't beat that!
The princess might not have felt that pea if she had these bed sheets from Bud and Sandy! She'd be so comfortable and feel so pampered between the Egyptian cotton layers that she'd be lulled to sleep long before any discomforts could come to mind. For just $39 you can get any size set which includes a flat sheet, 2 pillowcases, and a full elastic fitted sheet that fits mattresses up to 17 inches deep. And with so many colors to choose from, even the queen will be happy. So stop by today and Feel My Sheets! 
Xai Vang is one of our longtime vegetable growers and we're very pleased we can claim him as our own. I just can't say enough how much I admire our growers and their diligence ~ through the cold, late spring, many days of bad weather, scorching heat, and stormy Market days. They work tirelessly to bring us the freshest of produce and they always seem to have a smile ready for their customers. They probably don't hear it enough so we'll just say it now ~ Thanks guys! |
Market Flowers has a NEW Addition!
| 
Market Flowers is pleased to roll out our latest addition ~ a new, custom-designed flower cart!
The artists at Form From Form have truly outdone themselves. They have taken a concept we've developed over the past few years and turned it into a functional work of art. Watch for the new cart weekends right here at the Annex and also downtown on Nicollet Mall.
Lots of brides are finding out about our fun and money saving DIY Wedding Flower program. See the Market Flowers website for details.
