Founded in 2012, The Linden Hills Farmers' Market’s mission is to support and strengthen the connection between the local community, local growers, local artisans and musicians by creating opportunities for education about the environment, nutritional values and the importance of buying and consuming locally produced goods.  

​

In 2021, BrightSide Produce took over management of the market. BrightSide is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to reducing food insecurity by improving access to fresh produce. They primarily do this by helping corner stores in underserved communities stock fruits and veggies, and by providing direct home deliveries of fresh produce for folks of all income levels. 

​

The Linden Hills Farmers Market won the Gold Award in 2023 for Best Farmers Market in Minnesota, as voted by Star Tribune readers.

The Linden Hills Neighborhood is in the Southwest community of Minneapolis. It is bordered to the north by Bde Maka Ska and West 36th Street, to the east by Lake Harriet and William Berry Parkway, to the south by West 47th Street, and to the west by France Avenue. 

 

The Linden Hills Farmers' Market includes more than 50 small businesses selling, sampling and savoring locally-sourced food and locally-made crafts. Our purveyors are as awesome as our neighborhood. Farmers who specialize in growing unique heirloom vegetables, fruits and herbs - innovative, start-up food entrepreneurs, and makers you cannot find elsewhere.
