Brooklyn Park MN - Discover Farmers Market

Hello Everyone,

We wanted to thank each and every one of you for attending the market this season and helping make it great!

Due to the early frost we have ended the market for the season.

Please remember Terry's Cupcakes during the off season. He would love to help you celebrate your next birthday party, or special gathering. If you are interested in any free-range organic beef, chicken, or pork make sure to contact Larry. He sells sides and half-sides of animals along with CSA's. Great Harvest has a brick and mortar store in Maple Grove, so you can still get those delicious salted caramel cookies! Holly Hock Farms also has a brick and mortar store in Anoka. It's the perfect place to pick up some yarn for those winter knitting projects. Lastly, don't forget about Wendy and Mary. If you need any greeting cards, drawings, or prints make sure to contact them. All of our vendor's contact information can be found on our website!
