St Paul Farmers Market

The genesis of the Saint Paul Farmers Market was set in motion by a call to address a basic necessity: the need for a community to feed and sustain itself. In 1853, French-Canadian fur trapper Vital Guerin responded to that call and helped build Minnesota’s first public Farmers Market. 150 years later, this need for a community to feed and sustain itself remains, supported by the philanthropy that Guerin inspired before Minnesota joined the union.
