The purpose of the Friends of the St. Paul Farmers' Market is to cause the establishment of an expanded downtown market in St. Paul that would operate twelve months of the year with an outdoor/indoor facility within a larger market district. If you can help us grow, you will make it possible to:

Perpetuate the nearly 150-year tradition of the St. Paul Farmers' Market

Facilitate the building of a new expanded shed facility

Upgrade the Market to be more user friendly with wider aisles, upgraded electrical and improved restrooms

Create an indoor Market Hall where you can shop for an expanded line of local products all year round

See that this great food resource flourishes and grows in the Lowertown neighborhood

The Friends of the St. Paul Farmers' Market is a non-profit organization established in 1997 to provide financial support for the investigation of the feasibility, design, contractual, organizational and fund-raising work necessary to enable the development of a new regional outdoor/indoor year-round farmers' market in downtown St. Paul for the use of the local growers, vendors, and Twin Citians; to enhance business opportunities in St. Paul's urban core; and to contribute to the city's urban vitality. Friends of the St. Paul Farmers' Market will provide financial assistance to facilitate and assist the conduct of community, cultural, educational, recreational, public and civic events in and around the market once constructed.
