About

The purpose of the Mankato Area Growers’ Association is to create, promote, and operate a farmers’ market within the Mankato area that provides area producers a place to sell their handmade and homegrown products.

The market offers the community a wide variety of fresh, local products and strives to provide a space for people to gather on a regular basis in order to share good food, music, laughter and friends.

Join us at the Mankato Farmers’ Market for a taste of all things local!
