St. Paul Farmer's Market Review

Great vendors, most shoppers wearing masks, excellent produce, plants and locally made products.

Love this place. Always lots of options all summer. Wish they offered more varieties of fruit. Mostly apples here. But still so convieniet to get.to and pretty friendly.

Lots of amazing produce! All the vendors were very friendly and helpful and the variety allowed for fun meals for the week!

This is summer time, a ton of local growers selling flowers and potted herbs at different age - some still very small with only a few leaves or a 3ft tall mature plant that will take up a nice spot in your home. Local cheese makers, honey collectors, sauce makers, and farmers who have fresh or frozen meats.

The dislike - truth is, most of the fresh veggies and fruits sold aren't planted and sold by the growers there. The sellers bought the veggies and fruits from a local food distributor - who we can't really trace.

Great selection of produce and food. My favorite place to shop! Get the pierogi.

Great layout! Parents of littles can easily get around with a stroller. Good variety of vendors, produce, flowers and the bagel sandwiches are incredible!

Makes for a nice morning outing! Parking at Union Depot is on weekend rate of $4. Not bad!

Always a great stop in the AM. It is great this time of year for for starter plants.

Had two large aisles enclosed by an open air structure, so you can go when its raining, and a very modest valet cost to drop your car off right in front of it.

Good variety of fresh produce, indoor succulents (decorative cactus), and both MN frozen meats along with hot food while you walk.

I get dragged to these and wouldn't go unless Im dragged, but I did honestly enjoy this one, it was a rainy day and I was impressed with the valet and structure to stay dry and comfortable.

Would recommend if your going to try a local Farmer Market.

Tons of produce and more varieties than I can find at my local farmers market in California!

Less for show than the one in mpls. More food, fewer crafts.

Great falls deals from the remaining vendors, Xmas trees now.

It's falling everything it's out. Apple pies, squash, lettuce, tomatoes, Etc. Many vendors

Few fresh veggies and good organic eggs, meat and dairy. Was a well visit although it was cold

Good place to get plants and warm food but at this time of year it doesn't have much to offer. I think next time I head there later in the year they will have a better selection and I can rate it better. All in all it's a nice place for stuff from local farmers.

Always a great choice of veggies and flowers and many other things like jerky honey sauces ect..

ALWAYS delicious fruits n veggies for great prices... friendly ppl ready to get u what u need.

Great fresh food, pretty cool area for a farmers market.

My daughter amd I went for the first time last week. We fell in love with the whole experience. I can't wait to go back, and will be trying to make this a regular trip.

Pretty awesome assortment of foods and more. Found some excellent BBQ sauce and Spicy Honey Mustard. Priced fair for home made. Meats are a bit more than I would like but seems to be mostly organic.

As with all farmers markets, the prices are great for the best quality food around.

Stunning flower bouquets at fabulous prices. Great variety of local vendors. Love the produce!

Good prices if you can find what you are looking for

The Farmer's Market is off to a great summer season! Always a great place to find fresh, organic foods and beautiful plants for growing your own!

Products for sale were a great quality. All the vendors were very friendly and helpful. They had many samples to try. There were some good foodstands selling hot food as well as cold stuff like dairy products. A must visit place if you have a Saturday to burn.

This is the best example of city planning I have seen in years. A city block was converted into a very well laid out farmers market. Trucks can back right upto the vending area. There is no need to move them blocks away and cat produce to a stand. The Aisles of the market are laud or with brick pavers. The entire market area is covered with a roof with built in skylights. No need to worry about rain and the elements. All of the produce we saw looked wonderful.

Get there early for good parking and the best pick of the produce.

My very favorite market. I LOVE it here and drive from the west metro especially to go to this market every weekend.

By far my favorite local market! The vendors are incredibly knowledgeable, the produce is reasonably priced, there's always a fabulous seasonal selection, and I can't not pick up a bouquet of flowers (usually under $13, quality blooms, last at least a week with care, and the arrangements are stunning--they'll even do weddings). Definitely prefer to park at the Depot train station lot. It's $2 during market hours and is easy in, easy out and a very short walk to the market. Just beware construction and road closures on all sides this summer.

4 stars for high quality of Minnesota produce, flowers, and meats. 4 is a good rati g... there are better markets with rarer items, but this is good and inexpensive.

Such an adorable market with perfect products and plenty of other goodies. Just the right size for an hour or so of strolling. I get my hanging flowers there every year around Mother s Day

Pros: Lots of vendors, year round, fun atmosphere

Cons: can be difficult to find parking (depending on how far you want to walk), cramped due to space and attendance, not dog friendly.

They have a wide variety of fresh, high-quality vegetables, fish, and cheese.

Really enjoyed it. It's a smaller market compared to Minneapolis but everyone was friendly and they had everything i was hoping to find. Didn't have enough arms to carry everything I would have liked to purchase.

Winter Market on Saturdays from 9am-1pm is a great way to stay connected to your producers until the full Farmers Market starts up again in Spring.

I love this place. You can get all sorts of vegetables, cheese, meat, eggs, honey, flowers, and on Saturdays you can get milk. Also recently there has been a hot bao buns stand, which I would highly recommend. Being cash.

Glory be, I'd lived in MN for 27 yrs of my ancient life and never had I visited this place in operation. Parking? What, either pay or pray. Construction everywhere, roads blocked, it was a pain in the buttocks.
Produce, baked goods, flowers and miscellaneous goods were great. Reasonable prices. It's definitely a circus on a busy day in August.

Parking is limited. But the selection offered is amazing. Everything from chicken eggs, to flowers.

All local farmers. Great vibe. Get the fresh popped kettle corn!

As it has for decades, the St. Paul farmers market offers a great selection of fresh produce at super low prices. Garden plants, meat and cheese, condiments and baked goods are also available. Odds of meeting a neighbor are high. One of five stars withheld because parking is tough to find; go on Sunday when street parking is free.

Great place for fresh flowers, pants and organic meats.

Be prepared to leave with at least five or six marvelous items from a wide ranging assortment of vendors.

Love the atmosphere, the smells, fresh produce and beautiful plants and flowers

Since I'm from St. Paul I'm obviously partial but I can't imagine a better farmers market than St. Paul Farmers Market. I mean the amount of locally grown, in-season vegetables and fruits is amazing. Plus there are multiple meat, cheese, honey and maple syrup vendors. All at a reasonable price. Everyone is very nice and friendly and going above and beyond to keep safe during Covid with contactless credit card readers and everyone is wearing a mask. I know the joke is that St. Paul is boring but I for one am just fine with that if boring includes the ability to have a few hours on a weekend morning shopping in open air and enjoying the fruits of hard-working, honest folks. Consider me thankful. Oh and please keep St. Paul boring....please.

Some of the time, it's the best farmers market in the state. Best but very busy.

Global fresh ideas and produce done right! Copyright CJS...

Nice place to buy local fruits and veggies. Can find many organic foods.

This was so fun, great options, and great location!

Great options that reflect seasonable availability of produce, flowers, and other products. not too big, not too small, this is the Goldilocks of farmers markets. Can be a tough place to park, but lots of options in the area.

Great time to shop the market. Minnesota apples, corn, beans, broccoli, carrots, potatoes, squash, zucchini, tomatoes, eggs flowers and lots more.

Lots of walking. No fruit. Valet was friendly.
Crowded. Love all the veggies and flowers and vendor. Great way to start the day.

No where near what I expected like the last three years.
Going downhill in the produce especially!!

I go for the honey from Wolf Farms. He has the best Buckwheat honey I've had!

Always wonderful seasonal selections for relatively low prices. EBT accepted at many of the vendors.

Lots of HUGE vegetables. Got corn on the cob, egg plant, green beans, tomatoes, and apples named "First Kiss."

Always a great time at the farmers market. Lots of variety from many vendors.

I bought a bushel full of Big Boy tomatoes. I could buy better tomatoes in the store

I live right by Farmers Market & CHS Field... I love the market with all fresh flowers, veggies & meat . Never had an issue with any purchase yet. I over heard people complain about parking... however it's not my place to say since I don't park. I do recommend the market to anyone who wants fresh & homegrown!!!

Best market in town. Only local (within 60 miles) with primarily farm fresh produce (some soaps and crafts but not much). Same vendors return year after year so you get to know them - and they get to know you.
This is our standard Sunday morning adventure all summer and fall until frost!

Best place to be on a weekend morning in St. Paul. Meet the farmers that grow your food and get uber fresh, inexpensive produce. Also, some pretty flower bouquets!!
