I happened to attend on a rainy day in May and was surprised to see dedicated vendors showing up to showcase breads, veggies, flowers, pickles, coffee, kettle corn and even live music. There is abundant parking and lots of room to move between the stands. It never felt crowded (but this might be due to the rain). I was able to purchase all my perennial flowers and it felt good to give back locally. The kettle corn stand even gave me 4 small sample bags for free. Of course I tipped but appreciated his kind gesture. Fun fact: I learned you can freeze kettle corn to keep it stay fresh longer. The more you know!!

Love thus market! It has everything I want but the size is manageable. I just wish it happened…read moremore than once a week.

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.

Love, love this market. Whenever I am in town to visit family, I make sure to visit this market…read more There is a great vendor that sells breakfast tacos during the winter and you can buy their tortillas to go! Lots of meat vendors, the pork chops we got were amazing. Also, many local honey vendors, flowers, as well as bread items. I cannot get over the bakery items. I was able to get a great sourdough round and some baguettes for dinner. My daughter loves these spicy cheddar rolls from one of the vendors (keep a look out for them). You cannot go wrong. 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!!! PROS Free parking Lots of vendors, almost year round Great location Great people CONS Nothing, just go and enjoy the stroll

How does someone not love the St. Paul farmers market? It really is the OG for farmers markets…read morearound the Twin Cities. 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. So many delights. It is bustling every Saturday and Sunday. It should be a weekly stop for everyone.

It may be -7 degrees in St Paul, but I'm munching on some fresh, locally-grown carrots and sprouts…read morefrom Garden Fresh Farms. I subscribed to their crop share program and pick up a bag of FRESH produce every other week for myself and my daughter. If you have a larger family, you can schedule a weekly pickup. The St Paul location is the Sunrise Market near Minehaha. This is convenient to Mississippi Market -- so I pick up my share and other staples during the same trip. The most recent share included carrots, potatoes, squash, rutabaga, sprouts, lettuce and some tomato-basil soup. Subscribing to the share forces me to eat a variety of vegetables year round. I've rediscovered sprouts after nearly a decade. Summer and winter shares are available. The CSA offers pickup points throughout the Twin Cities and provides the ability to sign up online. It's worth visiting their website, though, and learning how they raise veggies and Fish year-round.

I got a taco at their stand at the St Paul farmer's market on Sunday! It was tasty, and I thought…read morethe micro greens added such a nice freshness to the breakfast taco. In addition to the tacos, they also sold tortillas. You could choose corn or flour tortillas. One of my friends had a corn tortilla taco which was a blue corn tortilla! Service was efficient! Only took a couple minutes to get the taco after ordering. There were 3 different sauces available, and mini sauce cups available if you wanted to dip your tacos or put the sauce on after instead of in real time. It was overall tasty, and I would get it again! If you're not planning to eat at any of the other stands at the market, I'd recommend eating 2, but one was perfect if you're planning to try foods from multiple vendors.

I like shopping produce, flowers, and so forth as much as the next person but I like some good hot food even more. There are quite a few food options like Omelets, Tacos, Arepas, Burgers and Sandwiches. Hola Arepa has been there every weekend and they have some great stuff, really ups the value in my book. There has been live music, cultural dancing and other entertainment every time I've been as well. The cheese curd guy in the back corner is great, he always has a ton of samples and offers them up with no pressure to buy. This market shouldn't go over looked when comparing to all the other choices in Minneapolis/St Paul. It's a good option to keep on the list when looking for a free weekend activity.

This is a good effort by the neighborhood to bring in local talent, and encourage support of the…read morearea economy. Limited hours (open Saturday in the summer until 1pm only) makes it less accessible than other markets that are open more often. Also, it is a tiny footprint and today (opening day for food trucks), there were really only about 6 food trucks present and maybe a dozen other vendors. This means you can cover it in a very short time which is good in some ways but disappointing in others. The 3 star rating in no way means it is a mediocre market. Just smaller and with fewer vendors than other area markets. I do love the artisans present that are so proud of their wares and products (as they should be) and the highlight today for me was the homemade pickle vendor and his Habanero brined spears. I bought a $9 tub from him and my group of 4 nearly polished them all off while walking around the market in a matter of about 15 minutes! No complaints about what is available here I just wish that there was more of it!

There's no entry fee. There are plenty of areas staged for cute fall photos and a playground area for kiddos with a sandbox. For minimal fees, they offer: apple picking, train rides, and informational tractor rides that provide information about the farm's establishment. There's also a store on site with all sorts of canned goods and tasty baked apple treats. The ambiance was so lovely- relaxed without crowds of people, plenty of parking and beautiful color-changing leaves to appreciate. We enjoyed our visit to Sunrise River and are looking forward to it being an annual family tradition.

They also have bags already prepared if you don't want to pick your own. They have yard games, hayrides but my favorite is the big barn where you can pet the animals. They had donkeys, sheep, baby kittens and bunnies. The store has caramel apples, tons of different homemade jams and salsas, apple cider donuts and other baked goods! They even had life music when I went this past weekend. Parking is super easy. The apple orchard is open Sept-Oct 10am-6pm
