Hopkins Farmers' Market
Supporting Minnesota farmers, artisans, and merchants
For over 25 years, the Hopkins Farmers' Market has offered a seasonal opportunity to buy local Minnesota grown vegetables and fruits, herbs, meat and poultry, eggs, cheese, honey, flowers, annual plants, handmade soaps, crafts, jewelry, pet toys, herb cookbooks, jams and jellies, artisan breads and bakery items, snacks, and more.
Location, Dates, & Times
You will find the Hopkins Farmers' Market in the parking lot on 9th Avenue one-half block south of the Mainstreet clocktower. The market is open from 7:30 am to noon on Saturdays from mid-June through October (2011 market begins June 18). The Hopkins Farmers' Market is a true community event—come and be part of it!
Not just any farmer's market
The Hopkins Farmers' Market seeks to honor the farming roots of Hopkins and promote sustainable family farms by providing the best locally grown produce, agricultural products and home made crafts sold by individuals from the farms and small cottage businesses that produce them. All our vendors are carefully selected and every item sold at the market is grown, made, or produced directly by the person selling the item.
An opportunity to shop locally
Shopping locally has many benefits. Purchasing Minnesota locally grown products minimizes the environmental impact of the foods we eat by reducing the resources used to transport, package, and preserve food products. Supporting local farmers and artisans is also a great way to support the Minnesota economy. The Hopkins Farmers' Market works exclusively with vendors that grow or produce what they sell and are proud of it.
The Hopkins Farmers' Market is a celebration of nature, health, and community and that is why it is the September Point of Pride. For more information, contact the market manager at 952-583-3585 or hopkinsfarmersmarket@gmail.com.
