Northeast Minneapolis Farmers Market

Northeast Minneapolis Farmers Market operates as a nonprofit, a detail that shapes more than its funding model: the market relies on grants, partnerships, and individual contributions to support its work. Founded in 2000, it began as a gathering place to raise funds and community support for Eastside Food Co-op before becoming an independent organization when the co-op opened its storefront in 2003. Today, that long neighborhood tie shows up in a producer-only mix of local farmers, food makers, and artisans rather than a generic retail setup.

Why it matters locally

Founded in 2000 to raise funds and community support for Eastside Food Co-op, Northeast Minneapolis Farmers Market was created to help the co-op build relationships with local growers, meat producers, and neighborhood organizations. That origin still matters because the market now stands as an independent nonprofit supported by neighborhood residents and local businesses, while keeping its focus on direct connections between shoppers and producers.

The market also defines itself as community-focused and producer-only, connecting shoppers with local farmers, food makers, and artisans. In practical terms, that means the market’s local role is not just selling food at St. Boniface Church’s lot, but maintaining a place where Northeast Minneapolis residents can buy from the people growing, making, and preparing what they bring.

What you'll find there

The mix here runs wider than produce alone, with farms, bakeries, specialty food makers, prepared-food vendors, and artists all represented in the market roster. Because the market is producer-only, the lineup reads as individual businesses rather than a single blended merchandise table.
