Excelsior Farmers' Market |
|
COVID-19 UPDATE: The team at the Excelsior Farmers' Market (EFM) have been focused on putting together a plan that supports our vendors' livelihoods as well as preserves vendor and community health and limits the transmission of COVID-19. Markets will kick-off on Tuesday, June 9th with modifications. See details below.
2020 Dates: Every Tuesday, June 9 - September 1, from 2 - 6 pm
Excelsior Farmers' Market strives to be a local destination where the community can engage with the locally grown healthy food movement. Our goal is to promote awareness and education surrounding the food products we offer.
To Our EFM Community,
The health and safety of our neighbors and our vendors are paramount when planning our 2020 season. We are happy to share that we have structured our June and July markets exclusive to online pre-sales with contact-less, drive-through pick up. We are one of the few Twin Cities markets offering this completely, contact-free shopping opportunity. With this, our vendors have created a terrific one-stop-online shop to help you purchase those high-quality local foods you know and love.
Our first market pick-up day is Tuesday, June 9. In the days leading up to this, we will post a link to our online storefront to conduct your pre-sales for pick up.
Please note, to best protect you and our vendors, we've decided that no additional sales will occur on market day, and vendors will not be on-site in June and July. We hope to transition to an alternate market format in the months ahead, and we will notify you of any changes well in advance of that time.
We hope to make this easy! Wednesday thru Sunday at Noon, customers can purchase products and produce from dozens of farmers and food makers. You'll pay with a credit card, and then arrive Tuesday afternoon between 4PM and 6PM for drive-through pick up, occurring in downtown Excelsior, in the West Parking Lot.
We know how much the Excelsior community loves local foods. This is why our management, board and vendors do what we do, day in and day out - we are so grateful for your support. Although we know this isn't ideal, we are so looking forward to seeing you online in the week’s ahead.
