Summer Guide 2025: Farmers Markets and U-Pick Produce

Minnesota's in season, and most of it's edible.

Brooklyn Park Farmers Market

Eating is awesome, right? But eating isn’t just about the destination, it’s also about the journey, whether that means foraging in the woods for mushrooms or taking a detour through a drive-thru on the way home from work.

The following is for journeys that are found somewhere in the middle of those two options. At farmers markets you can shop local, snack local, and often score more bang for your buck. Meanwhile, picking your own berries, apples, and other treats at a u-pick spot is kinda like foraging, only you don’t have to worry about finding nothing, eating something deadly, or getting mauled by a bear. That’s pretty win-win.

New this year are farmers markets in Uptown and out in front of Riverplace; there's also a vegan market and a Night Market at Earl Giles. Happy eating!
