Mill City Farmers Market (MCFM) is a non-profit organization that was founded in June of 2006 by farm-to-table restaurateur Brenda Langton, in collaboration with the Mill City Museum. With over 100 local farmers, small businesses, and artisans, MCFM strives to inspire and nurture a healthy community by building a local, sustainable and organic food economy in a vibrant, educational marketplace. In addition to delicious local food and groceries, MCFM is proud to offer cooking demonstrations with professional chefs, engaging children’s activities, adult education, free yoga, and much more at each of our markets.

Did you know we have a year-round farmers market right here in Minneapolis? 🥬🍳🥓🍯 You can find sustainable local food all year long at MCFM’s Indoor Winter Markets, held in the Mill City Museum lobby from 9AM-1PM on the first & third Saturdays of each month November through April!

Dozens of local farmers, food makers and artists will bring all-natural fresh and preserved flavors, bread & baked items, local gifts, unique handcrafted art, ready-to-eat foods and much more 🎁

Your continued support through the colder months is what allows small local farmers and food producers to sustain themselves until the next growing season, and gives us incredible flavors fresh from the farm all year long 🧀

“At Northland Vinegars, we believe every region has its own flavor, its own story — and Minnesota’s is something worth sharing. That’s why we craft bold, small-batch vinegars using some of the best local craft beers, c***rs, and spirits. ⬇️

We take those unique brews and distillations and give them a new life—something entirely different, but still true to where they came from. Just like a good w**e speaks to the land it’s grown on, I like to think our vinegars reflect the character of the breweries and distilleries that make Minnesota’s craft scene so vibrant 🍻

This is a one-person operation, so there’s nothing remotely close to mass-production here. Every batch is small, unique, and a chance for me to play.

Because I work with ever-changing ingredients, no two batches are exactly alike. Each bottle captures a moment in time—the flavors of the original brew, the fermentation process, and the subtle changes that happen along the way—coming together into a complex, deeply flavorful vinegar that can elevate everything from your marinades to your cocktails. Every bottle we sell is filled and labeled by hand and goes far towards supporting the local economy.

At the end of the day, Northland Vinegars isn’t just about making vinegar—it’s about celebrating the makers and flavors of Minnesota.

Whether it’s a tart c***r vinegar from honeycrisp apples or a rich malt vinegar born from a bold North Shore stout, every bottle is a nod to the creativity of this place. These are small-batch, one-of-a-kind creations made with intention—and a whole lot of love for the North.” ❤️

Flavors include Celery Aquavit Vinegar, Aged Apple C***r Vinegar, Cherry Bourbon Vinegar, Rosemary Porter B**r Vinegar, Dark Malt Vinegar, Blueberry C***r Vinegar, Black Garlic Rice Vinegar, Chipotle Stout Vinegar, Negroni C***r Vinegar and more.

Find Northland Vinegars at MCFM on October 10th & 24th from 9am til 1pm and stock up for your upcoming holiday meals & gifts! ✨

San Jose Chocolate’s beans come directly from their family’s farm (Hacienda San José) and all products are processed and prepared locally, featuring 25% local ingredients from Stephen Horner Hazel Heart Farms and more to meet our Local Sourcing Standard! 😋

Calling all cheese lovers 📣 Friesago and Sogn both earned medals at the American Cheese Society’s 2026 conference earlier this summer — have you tasted these award-winning sheep milk cheeses from Shepherd's Way Farms yet?🏅🧀

Enjoy descriptions by Jodi Ohlsen Read below and find Shepherd’s Way at MCFM every Saturday (and full-time at our upcoming winter markets) with their sheep cheeses, milk, skyr, lamb, wool bedding & more! ⬇️

“Friesago placed first in farmstead sheep milk cheese aged more than 60 days. Friesago is our flagship cheese, first made in 1998. It has evolved over the years, from a waxed cheese to the natural rinded cheese we have today. And I still make every wheel.

Sogn placed third in sheep milk cheese aged 31-60 days. Sogn is an original recipe and my most recent cheese. This is its fourth win in a row. Designed to show off the beautiful molds in our environment, it is a tomme style made with milk from our ewes. I make this one in our small vat, 25-30 wheels at a time.

Sogn is named after a gorgeous nearby valley that is abundant with color every fall. (Pronounced “sew gun” around here, even though that is not the original Norwegian pronunciation)

We’ve been doing this for quite awhile now and it is still just as exciting and humbling to receive an ACS award. Congratulations to all and thank you for your hard work & creativity. I love being part of this cheese world!” ❤️
