Market Flowers has a NEW Addition!
Market Flowers Cart

Market Flowers is pleased to roll out our latest addition ~ a new, custom-designed flower cart!

The artists at Form From Form have truly outdone themselves.  They have taken a concept we've developed over the past few years and turned it into a functional work of art.  Watch for the new cart weekends right here at the Annex and also downtown on Nicollet Mall.

Lots of brides are finding out about our fun and money saving DIY Wedding Flower program.  See the Market Flowers website for details.

Vendor Spotlight
Mel O Glaze



The artisans from Mel-O-Glaze Bakery stay up late baking the tastiest strudel you've ever had the pleasure to try.  They come to the Market with three scrumptious varieties and sell them in a half loaf  ~ enough to please the entire family.   Make this part of your new Market tradition.  Your tummy will be glad you did!


New York Style Sunglasses  

 Who says you have to spend a lot of money to look like a million bucks?  Not the friendly folks from New York Style SunglassesTons of current fashions to choose from and the prices are as far from New York as you can imagine ~ how about $12/pair?  Best yet, they will help you choose a pair that looks good.  Got me to wear a different style, and they look marvelous! 

 Costa Rican Bean Coffee  


 

Costa Rican Bean Coffee is a new vendor this year, but their products have been around a long time. They carry a premium blend of coffee that is #1 in Costa Rica (back home!).  If Fair Trade means something to you, then you're not alone and you can be sure your choice of morning pick-me-up sits well with your conscious.

Papa Fierro has a new home!
Papa Fierro


Papa Fierro's Pico de Gallo stand has been moved next to the Kettle Corn stand along the last aisle.  We know that sometimes it's hard to find your favorite vendors when they move even just a bit so we wanted to make sure you can still find the best Pico in the Market.

So good that you'll want to come back for more, week after week.  Fresh.  Local.  Farmers Market Quality.  Nice!
