Minneapolis has a thriving community of small farmers markets bringing fresh, locally grown vegetables, fruit and flowers to neighborhoods with limited healthy food options. The Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP) coordinates the Minneapolis mini farmers market initiative, helping to increase access to healthy foods, create new market opportunities for farmers and build community.

Mini farmers markets have five or fewer vendors and are managed by local community organizations. Many of the markets accept Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) food assistance coupons and WIC Fruit and Vegetable Vouchers (FVVs).
