Local Farmer's Markets

We are blessed to live in a part of the Twin Cities that has great produce at our fingertips!  In fact, a few of the towns in our area are surrounded by fields so it makes sense that we would have some great Local Farmer's Markets.  And September and October are the best months for collecting a bountiful harvest!

From fresh picked green beans, to locally harvested honeys, you can find a ton of great things at a farmer's market.  It's a great way to buy healthy, organic, locally grown food for your family.  And it's a lot of fun, too.
