Located in Alexandria, Minnesota, Alexandria Farmers' Market brings together local farmers, food artisans, and community members for a vibrant open-air marketplace.

Farmers markets like Alexandria Farmers' Market represent a fundamentally different way of accessing food compared to a supermarket. When you shop at Alexandria Farmers' Market, the person selling you tomatoes is often the same person who planted them — a level of transparency and traceability that industrial food systems cannot replicate. That direct relationship is what draws many Alexandria residents to the market week after week.

The selection at Alexandria Farmers' Market changes as the growing season progresses. Early in the season, expect cool-weather crops like salad greens, radishes, and herbs. Peak summer brings the widest variety — tomatoes, peppers, corn, stone fruits, and squash. By fall, the market shifts toward storage vegetables, apples, pears, preserves, and baked goods that make use of seasonal harvests. This seasonal rhythm is something you feel at a farmers market in a way you never do in a grocery store.

Alexandria Farmers' Market is committed to serving all members of the Alexandria community. SNAP/EBT benefits are accepted, meaning nutrition assistance recipients can use their benefits to buy fresh, locally grown produce and other eligible items directly from vendors. These programs reflect a broader commitment to food access that many farmers market organizers across Minnesota have prioritized in recent years.

Alexandria Farmers' Market supports the livelihoods of independent farmers and food producers in the Alexandria area while giving shoppers a meaningful alternative to industrially produced food.

Shoppers using EBT can take advantage of Alexandria Farmers' Market's SNAP acceptance to buy locally grown produce, eggs, and other eligible items from vendors.
