Scenes from the August 6 Mill City Farmers Market
The Mill City Farmers Market celebrated National Farmers Market Week (August 7-13) at the August 6 Market. Chipotle Mexican Grill sponsored the distribution of free five dollar shopping vouchers to the first 1,000 visitors. The vouchers were eligible for all take-home grocery items, as part of the Mil City Farmers Market and Chipotle’s mission to provide “farm fresh food for all.”
August 6 community booths included Wellness Minneapolis and Ingredient Magazine/Butternut Magazine. Look for separate articles on these organizations later this week on our Farmers Market blog.
