Serving the Shafer community in Minnesota, Franconia Art & Farmers' Market - Winter is where local agriculture meets neighborhood life — a gathering place for families, foodies, and farmers alike.
Franconia Art & Farmers' Market - Winter is part of a national network of farmers markets that have grown substantially over the past two decades. According to USDA data, the number of registered farmers markets in the United States has expanded significantly, reflecting growing consumer demand for local, transparent food sourcing. Franconia Art & Farmers' Market - Winter contributes to that network by giving Shafer-area growers and food producers a reliable, recurring venue for direct sales.
For consumers, the practical benefit of shopping at Franconia Art & Farmers' Market - Winter is freshness. Produce sold at a farmers market is typically harvested within 24 to 72 hours of sale — far less time than the average transit and distribution time for produce in conventional supply chains. That shorter journey from field to table has real implications for flavor, nutritional density, and shelf life at home. Strawberries bought at Franconia Art & Farmers' Market - Winter on a Saturday morning are simply a different product from strawberries that have traveled across the country in a refrigerated truck.
The economic impact of a market like Franconia Art & Farmers' Market - Winter is also worth noting. When you spend money at Franconia Art & Farmers' Market - Winter, most of that money stays within the Shafer area. Small farms and food businesses that sell direct-to-consumer do not depend on wholesale distribution margins, which means a larger percentage of each sale goes back to the producer — and back into the local economy. That is a meaningful difference from shopping at a national chain retailer.
