A seasonal farmers' market rooted in the North Branch community, this weekly gathering brings together local growers and food producers who sell directly to residents looking for fresh, seasonal products. Operating from July through October, the North Branch Farmers' Market runs Saturday mornings from 8am to 12pm at Peterson's Mill Store parking lot, making it a convenient weekend stop for shoppers. The market draws a steady crowd of home cooks, families, and neighbors seeking produce at peak ripeness, along with complementary food products that showcase what grows well in Minnesota's climate. Vendors at the market typically offer a range of items centered on fresh food and local agriculture. You'll find seasonal produce like sweet corn, tomatoes, beans, and root vegetables that change week to week as the growing season progresses. Beyond produce, the market regularly features local meats, dairy products, baked goods, honey, and preserves from area producers. Fall brings specialty items like pumpkins, gourds, and corn shocks that appeal to both cooking-focused shoppers and those decorating for the season. The farmers' market format means vendors are often the growers themselves, giving shoppers the chance to ask questions about how items were grown or handled. Beyond the main Saturday market, North Branch Farmers' Market extends its reach with a mini market held on Tuesday evenings in Central Park during the summer concert season, creating an additional touchpoint for vendors looking to build customer relationships. This secondary location captures a different crowd and daypart, making it valuable for vendors wanting to expand their visibility in the community. The combination of weekend and weekday options, along with the market's focus on food and produce, makes it a straightforward fit for vendors working in agriculture, baking, preserved goods, and direct-to-consumer food products.

Located at 2933 Burnside Rd., the CSA Farmers Market operates weekly, giving vendors a consistent opportunity to build relationships with regular customers while offering shoppers reliable access to fresh, locally-sourced food products. The market features a rotating selection of vendors who specialize in food and produce items. You'll typically find baked goods from local bakeries, artisanal cheese makers, farm-fresh eggs, seasonal herbs and vegetables, raw honey, and other value-added food products.

Many vendors focus on organic offerings, appealing to shoppers seeking minimally-processed, sustainably-raised options. What makes a farmers market different from other vendor venues is the direct producer-to-consumer model.

The weekly schedule also means the market becomes a predictable gathering place for the community, often drawing loyal regulars who plan their shopping around it. The CSA Farmers Market's acceptance of SNAP and EBT benefits makes locally-grown and artisanal food accessible to a broader range of shoppers in the North Branch area. For vendors selling food products, herbs, honey, baked goods, or other farm-produced items, a weekly farmers market provides both consistent foot traffic and the chance to connect with customers who actively seek out local food sources. It's an ideal venue for building a regular customer base throughout the year.
