Nokomis Farmers Market

02/02/2026

We wanted to share 2 quick reminders.

1. Minneapolis and Minnesota, we love you. We are so proud to stand together in support of our immigrant neighbors. It’s a heavy time, but we’re proving our strength.

2. Our once-a-year vendor application period is open now through this Sunday, February 8th. If you’re a farmer, maker, or food producer looking for a values-driven, people-first marketplace, we want to hear from you! Grants are available for new and returning BIPOC vendors; grant apps also close February 8th. Learn more and apply -> https://www.neighborhoodrootsmn.org/vendors

We recognize there’s a lot of uncertainty and worry around everyday decisions right now. Asking small businesses to think about committing to events taking place 3 months from now is nuts. However, it’s what we have to do to plan our programming in time. That said, if you’re not ready to complete an application by Sunday’s deadline, we still want to hear from you.

Our markets will always be welcoming places to gather, connect, and find comfort in familiar faces and good food.
