We recently had the absolute pleasure of visiting Nistler Farms and enjoyed the most delicious tomato tarts by Jeffrey Nistler/Nistler Farms (with and without gluten), just-picked melons and tomatoes, freshly baked bread from nakedtreebakery

Before that, Jeff showed us where the magic happens — take a scroll through the photos for a peek behind the scenes at your local farm! Tomatoes and melons will slowly be less and less abundant as we head into fall so this is your reminder to get out and enjoy them while you can 🍅

Local food systems are strong because connection makes us strong. 🤝

Knowing where your food comes from — who grew it, where they grew it and how they grew it — allows you to make informed choices and protect yourself from the recalls and food safety risks that the industrial food system is currently facing 🥬

Did you know all of our farmers use organic practices and grow and/or make everything that they sell within 100 miles of Minneapolis?

When you support them you are also supporting clean air and water, healthy soil, pollinator habitats, humane treatment of livestock, fair wages for workers, and the continuation of thriving ecosystems across our food shed. If they have a minute, feel free to ask them about their growing practices and they would love to tell you!

We’re open every Saturday from 8am til 1pm (9am til 1pm in October) and you can find us at the corner of S 2nd Street and Chicago Ave S.📍

We move inside the Mill City Museum from November through April so you can keep getting local food from people you trust all year long.

We would love it if you joined our local food family!!

NEW VENDOR FEATURE: Emily Schollett Pottery 🪴🌀

Emily Schollett is a ceramic artist based in Marine on St. Croix, MN. Inspired by the quiet beauty of nature, she creates functional pottery shaped by organic forms and textures from local landscapes 🍄‍🟫

Through clay, she explores the balance between structure and softness, stillness and motion, crafting vessels that feel alive and offer a moment of grounding in everyday life.

With a BFA in Ceramics from the U of M Twin Cities and almost two decades of experience, Emily runs her own studio, producing thoughtfully designed, nature-inspired objects featured in regional exhibitions, galleries, and art fairs.

We are so excited to welcome Emily Schollett_Pottery to the MCFM family this season. You can meet her and check out her beautiful work at our second annual Pottery Party this Saturday from 8am til 1pm inside the Train Shed!

As we mourn the loss of Sue Zelickson, we join so many others in celebrating her remarkable life and legacy. We are sending our deepest condolences to the Zelickson family, and everyone in the Twin Cities and beyond who knew and admired her.

Sue, or Susie as our founder Brenda Langton called her, had a rare gift as a leader to open the doors of opportunity and make others feel seen and valued. Her compliments made you feel invincible; when she would hold both of your hands and look you in the eyes, you started to believe, as she did, that your success was possible.

Sue was one of one, and we thank her so much for her profound impact on our food scene, including countless MCFM staff, board members, vendors and grant recipients.

One of our favorite recent memories was from last year’s Harvest Social. Sue outbid everyone at the auction on a brunch hosted by MCFM’s Executive Director and her husband (which was in no way the most impressive dinner at the auction). When asked who she wanted to invite to brunch, she said, “let’s invite women who cook for everyone else”.

Her spirit of generosity and service will continue to serve as a guiding force in our lives.

If we are to be the things we miss the most about the people who are gone, then for Sue we promise to:

Eat well, especially chocolate
Show up
Open doors for others
Be open to making new friends
… and look fabulous while doing it. ❤️
