History and Location
Since 2003, the Midtown Farmers Market (MFM) has connected locally produced food and goods with 40,000 customers per season at 2225 East Lake Street on a surface parking lot owned by Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS). The Midtown Farmers Market was conceived by local residents and is operated by the Corcoran Neighborhood Organization (CNO). The Midtown Farmers Market was a keystone element of the Corcoran Midtown Revival Plan (see more below). The MFM currently operates one day a week from May to June, and two days a week from June through October.
The market site offers parking and bicycle racks. The Lake Street Station of the Hiawatha light rail line is immediately adjacent to the market site, and several Metro Transit bus routes stop near the site.
The market was awarded the title of "Best Farmers Market" by City Pages in 2004.
