A Hidden Gem in St. Paul--Vibrant, Welcoming, and Delicious!…read more We absolutely loved our visit to the Hmong Marketplace in St. Paul! It's one of those places that immediately makes you feel welcome and leaves you wondering why you hadn't come sooner. Easy to Navigate & Plenty of Parking: There's ample parking and the layout is intuitive--some produce vendors are located outside, while the inside is filled with everything from clothing and shoes to toys, household goods, and an incredible variety of food vendors. Truly the Friendliest Vendors We've Met: Every single vendor we interacted with was so kind and welcoming. My son even exclaimed, "I cannot believe how nice the people are here!" One vendor even opened a package of fruit so he could taste it before buying. The genuine hospitality made the experience unforgettable. No Cash? No Problem: Most vendors accept tap-to-pay and debit/credit cards, so there's no need to hunt for an ATM or carry cash--huge plus. COME HUNGRY. SERIOUSLY. The food court is a sensory dream. The aromas alone will have you salivating. Everything looked authentic and freshly made--we could've spent the whole day just eating our way through. We also picked up produce we can never find in our local grocery stores, and the prices were incredibly reasonable for the quantity and quality. A Beautiful Cultural Hub: It's more than just a market--it's a vibrant community space. It was heartwarming to see the Hmong refugee community gathered in a place where they can support one another, share their culture, and offer goods from their homeland. There's a real sense of pride and resilience here, and it's something you feel the moment you walk in. If you're in St. Paul and want an experience that's rich in culture, flavor, and human connection, make the Hmong Marketplace a top priority. You'll leave full--in both belly and spirit.

Definitely worth coming here for the foods!…read more There are tons of places to order different things that you'll crave the next day. Found ourselves ordering from different stalls and found out each one offers different type of purple rice! Tables here are better than the village. This place is also bigger and lots of tables to sit. It's indoor so a lot cooler during summer. Shop around though since each stalls offers almost the same things but different pricing.

Why am I discussing this beverage? Because it was in the small $8 Arnold Palmer at the State Fair, combined with a store-bought lemonade. I'm glad I didn't get the $15 watermelon Palmer. The grilled peach is a brilliant invention, expertly prepared for the second year in a row, and I'm not sure how many points should be taken off for something that isn't part of the day-to-day activities. But I don't want an $8 beverage that's 50% Gold Peak, especially from a place with farm-to-table vibes. I don't think state fair drinks have to be exclusively made with filtered rainwater from Grand Marais, but let customers choose whether to pay extra for the good stuff or just get a Pepsi.

I love being able to pick up the random things I need like a jar of local honey or peanut butter. It's also great because you can also do a real purposeful trip here and get pretty much everything you'd need from dairy products, produce, dry foods, meats, etc. They also have great seasonal produce, I've picked up pomegranates here and they have a huge pumpkin and squash collection! I think this is also a nice spot if you're looking for a gift, they've got some novelty things like stickers, mugs, and dish towels. Staff is always nice and there is no credit card minimum. COVID-19 Note: staff is always wearing a mask from what I've seen!

**July 2025: Sunday Morning Visit**…read more This is such a great Farmer Market and I'm so glad that I visited. On our last day in Minneapolis I happen to notice that we'd be able to attend this Sunday event. Farmers Markets in California all range in size so I didn't really know what to expect for this one - holy cow! It was huge and lots of different local things. They had Minnesota grown produce, handmade products, fresh flowers, baked good and so much more. I was introduced to Ty's Gingseng (https://www.tysginseng.com/) who grows and sells 6 year old ginseng powder - which is very high quality. I also bought relish from Red Ron's as well as some sausage links from another vendor. To be honest I probably could have spent at least 1.5 hours here if I wanted to really study all the booths and check everything out, but we had brunch plans and needed to depart within 45 mins. I would love to come back to support small! FYI: There's metered parking

Being a MN native, I haven't been back to the farmers market in awhile and I must change that!…read more I recently went the other weekend and it was such a great way to start my weekend morning with clothes, food, flowers, produce and the list goes on! Being able to support the community and get such staple items made my heart full. It probably wasn't the wisest choice getting hot soup on a hot day but it was so delicious. There was live music, went into the walk in cooler to take a break from the sun and went back to it. Every vendor was very nice and welcoming, got some treats for my dogs, a freshly made slush coffee, and some hot dogs to end the walk around. I can't wait to come back to grab more fruits and veggies and flowers!

We typically lean towards Seed Savers for heirloom, non-GMO, organic seeds. Eggplant carries those too! This year, we opted for Renee's seed and wanted to ensure we had our seed before everyone starts to feel Spring Fever. Eggplant is our go-to location. The staff is knowledgeable & patient - they take the time to help you make good choices. The store is a delight. From cookbooks to fermentation and canning. Mushroom blocks. Chicken raising good times. Bee things. Such a wide variety. In the past, I even took a course to make my own mozzarella.

They seemed like the go-to place and I have not been disappointed! It was so easy to order chicks and supplies and everyone has been SO friendly. My girls are about 6 weeks now but when they were a few weeks old I reached out to EggPlant in a panic because I thought one was going to be a rooster. Jessika took the time to talk me down and listen to what I was seeing - she eased my mind but also let me know what they could do if one did turn out to be a male (which you can't have in the city). All in all, I think my little Lottie just matured faster than her hatch-mates but I am glad to know I can contact EggPlant for whatever I need for them going forward. They were really hands-off once you picked up your chicks but very responsive if you need help with them.

It is in a central spot that makes this easy to get to, free parking and it is open fairly year round. As a tidbit, it is right next to my favorite coffee shop that makes a great Vietnamese coffee!!!

I have been to that one across the river, all I can say is they don't grow bananas in Minnesota. I have been visiting this place for decades, and I really love the way it is evolved well staying true to its roots. You need to have products that have been grown or made within a certain radius of Saint Paul. When I first started visiting, it was mainly growers, but as a farmers markets have expanded in the Twin Cities, some farmers have gone elsewhere. That means we are seeing more vendors of other types of food. People who forge mushrooms, people who make their own cheese. Bee keepers. The world's best pierogies. Tibetan dumplings.

We spoke with the owner who let us know that there was an early harvest & lots of apples on the ground because of the unusually warm weather we had this year, but they expect an even better harvest next year!

I spent a short afternoon at this small, but beautiful, apple orchard near Stillwater. The day was…read moreperfect to walk around and pick some apples and this was the only orchard in the area that allowed picking apples on the weekend. What an amazing place to be! It was a smaller orchard but it made for a more personal experience. The only disadvantage that I could foresee would be parking if it were a busier weekend. On this day I was able to park fairly close to the main building to purchase a bag to hold apples. When I walked in to the mail shop area, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful! They were talking to everyone and helping everyone out with all their questions. The shop had a small variety of items such as jam, cider, apples (obviously ), and some syrup. I paid for a bag to pack apples into and headed out to the orchard. The orchard was organized and where I could pick was plainly labeled. They had plenty of apples to pick from and it was worth the price paid for the amount of apples I got. After, I sat around outside the main shop and watched others as they played yard games they were set up or enjoying a snack on the outside deck area. This was a wonderful experience and better than the big orchards where it's crowded and there more restrictions as to how to grab your apples. I would go back again and again. This is a great kid-friendly place as well!
