| Greetings! |
Farmers Market or the MN State Fair this weekend??
Why not both?!?  
Face it. We're all busy and the weekend is only so long, but you gotta eat, right? If you miss your weekly stop to fill your cupboards with the yummy
produce and specialty foods found at our Market, then you'll be sorry come Monday dinnertime.
So, stop by and see your favorite vendors before heading out for your weekend plans. We're all here, ready to serve!
Add us to your weekend plans. We're open Saturday and Sunday, 6:30am to 1:30 pm.
It's FUN! It's Local! It's what we're all about.
 Like us on Facebook and stay tuned for the details of our upcoming events.

| Vendor Spotlight | 
Come on down this weekend and visit Bad Cowgirl Jewelry & Design, she'll be set up along the building. This is her final weekend with us at the Market and she will be selling her products at deeply discounted prices. Don't miss this last opportunity to support a fabulous artist!
How about picking up a few early Christmas gifts? Or that special piece you spied earlier this year and meant to get later? If nothing else, take a minute just to say goodbye to Kris ~ I know she loves it down here and we will miss her as much as she'll miss all of you. We want to wish her good luck as she moves on to bigger and better things, but it sure is hard to say goodbye to old friends. Sigh.
Stop by to see Scott from I Got Cheese to get an education on what makes really good cheese! He's been in business for over 30 years and he really knows his stuff. These cheeses are from the wonderful cheese makers (many of them masters of their craft) from southwest Wisconsin, using fresh, local milk. Scott works closely with the makers to ensure that the cheeses he brings to our Market are properly aged and at their peak of flavor. Yumm.
Barkley's Bistro is committed to making man's best friend feel like a king. These treats are comprised of 98% locally sourced products (unless you can refer any midwest peanut farmers!) Chef takes careful consideration of all ingredients and supports our neighborhood farmers that follow sustainable practices, right down to the artisanal grains milled locally. Simply delicious, free of fillers & made with love. Barkley's Bistro bakes the very best treat for your four-legged foodies!

| Music at the Market with Steve Sullivan and the Factory | |
Steve Sullivan is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist.
His music combines the Electric Blues of Muddy Waters and classic R&B - think Ray Charles -
to a blend of heartfelt Americana.
 After years of crisscrossing the country, breaking hearts and fronting bands, the self-taught New Mexican guitar-slinger arrived in Minnesota. His band Steve Sullivan and the Factory is known in the Twin Cities for their energy-filled live shows.
Their latest studio releases - two full-length CDs titled I Did a Bad Thing and Love Is a Hit Parade - both hit the street on December 23, 2011. Steve Sullivan was born in New Mexico in a wasteland railroad town on the dried up banks of the Rio Grande River. With the ghost of Billy The Kid hanging in the desert air, Sullivan started playing guitar, writing songs and recording at age twelve. To this day he has released five solo albums (available on iTunes). In 2010 he released the Steve Sullivan and the Factory debut, Last Night.
