This Little Piggy Went to Market The Red Wing Farmers Market on Levee Street down by the train depot is kind of a big dill! Get yourself and your little piggies up early on Saturdays from June through October as the market only lasts from 8 am to 1 pm, and the baked goods sell out quickly. Red Wing's market might be on the smaller side, but it has all you need to live high on the hog. Go ahead and put all your eggs in one basket, along with fresh organic produce, honey products, sourdough breads, cookies, ice cream cones, crafts, and gorgeous flowers. While you shop, enjoy beautiful views of Barn Bluff and the Mississippi River, along with snacks from food trucks like Chef Shack, Firebrick Pizza, and Yummy Eats. If you're lucky, you might visit on a day with live music to turnip the beet, or when Wild Pyle Acres brings a few of their llamas and yaks to the market for the kiddos to meet. Be sure to stop by the information booth, especially if you don't have cash on you. You can use your credit card to purchase tokens--how handy is that? This is also the spot to sign up kids for The Power of Produce Program (PoP). Each child can receive a $2 token every Saturday to spend on fresh produce, teaching them how to make healthy food choices! From tomatoes to po-tah-toes, this market is great place to stock up on un-beet-able artisanal items and produce. It's very easy to spend too much here, leaving you and your wallet crying, "Wee! Wee! Wee!" all the way home!! read more
