Located in Maple Grove, Minnesota, Maple Grove Farmers Market is dedicated to serving the community. Since 2004, the Maple Grove Farmers Market serves as a gathering place for shoppers to purchase vendor–grown produce and specialty food items. Local farmers and producers sell their goods directly and allow the community to experience a direct relationship with them - building trust, friendship, and integrity in the community.
The Maple Grove Farmers Market offers a large variety of home-grown and home-made products that truly deliver an authentic taste to Minnesota’s vast diversity of cultures and family dishes. Our vendors supply fresh and local produce, meats products, egg products, dairy products, beautiful flowers and plants, delicious baked goods, wonderfully-crafted artisan foods, tasty pre-made foods, specialty products and much more! From Asian vegetables to Italian antipasto, there is something new for everyone to try.
At the Maple Grove Farmers Market, we truly believe in promoting a fun atmosphere for all our visitors and vendors. We provide live music and fun activities to build a festive environment in which everyone can have a great time.
We also believe in creating a healthy future, and that’s why we introduced the Maple Grove Farmers Market Power Of Produce (PoP) Club! Through this free program, children ages 4-12 can receive a $2 token to purchase fresh fruits, vegetables, or any food bearing plants at the market. This program was designed to initiate a healthier next generation of kids, and teach them the benefits of eating healthy. Through this program, children can exercise their own buying power and try new fruits and veggies every week.
Join us for unique community experiences, tasty local food, and live entertainment from 3 to 7 p.m. every Thursday, from May 8 to October 16. Want to learn more about us or our vendors? Visit our website or give us a call today!
