Farmers Markets in Minneapolis

[guppiecat]

As some of you know, Lifehacker just linked a wonderful site that lists farmers' markets all over the US. As I seem to be buying a lot of fresh vegetables in Minneapolis these days, I built a list of markets in the area, sorted by day. The theory is that this will make it easier for me to find high quality (hopefully organically-grown) produce from local merchants... based on the times when I am in the area. Now I can carry the list on my PDA, and refer to it when I need to get anything. I'm sharing it here in case anyone else on my FL finds it useful.

Price wasn't the criteria above, so I wasn't thinking of it. I don't actually know how much cheaper things are at the Farmer's Market(s). It's going to depend on the seller and the produce.
