The Midtown Farmers Market is a community-based, open-air market at 2225 E. Lake Street in Minneapolis. Our mission is to create a vibrant forum in South Minneapolis that connects community residents, artisans, and nearby food producers in a mutually beneficial economic and cultural exchange. The market was founded by the Corcoran Neighborhood Organization in 2003 with the help of many community partners and volunteers from surrounding neighborhoods. Today’s market is the result of their vision to create a public marketplace at the transportation hub created by the light rail station at Lake Street/Midtown. The market prioritizes making healthy food easily accessible to its diverse customer base and was the first Minnesota farmers market to accept SNAP-EBT in 2006.
