Grand Rapids Farmers' Market

Grand Rapids State Bank is hosting the 2025 Grand Rapids Farmers' Market, a detail that places this market squarely in the middle of town relationships as well as weekly food shopping. In season, the market runs in Grand Rapids on Wednesdays and Saturdays from May into October, giving shoppers two chances each week to catch produce, bread, flowers, eggs, honey, mushrooms, meats, and prepared foods from a long roster of named vendors. The mix reaches from straightforward farm produce to regional pantry staples like wild rice, maple products, and pickles, with a winter market continuing at the Trailhead Building at the Fairgrounds from November through April.

Why it matters locally

Grand Rapids Farmers' Market ties together producers from Grand Rapids, Cohasset, and nearby farm areas, including I AM ACRES with vegetables and fruits from Cohasset and Kent Lorentzen bringing produce from a farm along the Mississippi River. That local reach shows up not just in fresh items but in products rooted in northern Minnesota foodways, such as locally harvested wild rice and wild berries from Terri's Jams, Jellies and More, plus pure maple syrup and maple candies from TimberSweet Maple Syrup LLC. The market also continues beyond the main outdoor season through winter dates at the Trailhead Building at the Fairgrounds, keeping a market presence in colder months rather than ending in October.

What you'll find there

The vendor mix leans heavily toward produce and farm staples, but it does not stop there: shoppers can also pick up bread, mushrooms, herbal goods, flowers, soap, tacos, and preserved foods from clearly differentiated stands. Several vendors bring products that feel especially tied to this part of Minnesota, including wild rice, maple goods, garlic, orchard fruit, and pasture-raised meats.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the clearest rule likely to change how you plan your visit. The main season runs at 11 Golf Course Road in Grand Rapids, with the market operating on both Wednesdays and Saturdays from May into October. If you're looking past the outdoor season, the winter market shifts to the Trailhead Building at the Fairgrounds rather than staying at the regular in-season site. For direct market questions, Wililyn Dowell is listed as the contact at 218-910-6799, and Hannah Harling is named as market president.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at the Grand Rapids Farmers' Market. Payment options are otherwise presented as clear for shoppers, and one visitor noted that most places take credit, debit, and cash, which suggests a flexible setup across vendors rather than cash-only shopping.
