For more than 307,000 neighbors, the St. Paul Farmers’ Market isn’t just a weekend tradition—it’s often the only reliable source of fresh, local food available downtown all year long.
Without the farmers’ market, many families must travel miles for groceries—or rely on gas-station snacks to get through the week.
Your generosity can help change that.
When you give to Friends of the St. Paul Farmers’ Market, you help create an indoor market—a warm, welcoming space where fresh food, connection, and dignity are available in every season.
Your tax-deductible (ID: 61-2103968) gift of any amount helps make it possible to:
-Provide affordable, nutritious meals, including warm, just-prepared food
-Host cooking and canning classes that build lifelong skills rooted in community care
-Create a comfortable place to gather—rain, snow, or shine
Vision Statement
Our vision is to foster a collaborative space in the heart of Lowertown, St. Paul, bringing growers, producers, and consumers together. We function as a space for many, lowering the risk to our members through a shared cost model while simultaneously addressing the food desert in the neighborhood by offering locally grown and produced food year-round.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Friends of the Market 501C-3 is to serve as a catalyst for growth, gathering, and collaboration in the community, to extend the offerings of the St. Paul Farmer’s Market to a broader group through our year-round country store, provides a shared commercial kitchen space for small business owners to produce their goods, and curates community-facing events that showcase our local growers and producers.
