Could be the last Sunday to get tomatoes, summer squash, peppers, and other summer vegetables at the market this season. (But there are plenty of good autumn fruits and veggies!)
This cold weather means all those hallmark summer vegetables will be leaving the market very quickly. Get what you can while you can! On the other hand, the market is right in the middle of autumn produce: winter squash, pumpkins, onions, beets, carrots, potatoes, apples, grapes. Come and get it! Great eats for cooler weather!

Vendor Profile
Yer Yang
Yer Yang’s stall and its accompanying pails of flower bouquets spread out to greet market patrons as they enter Kingfield Farmers Market from the sidewalk along Nicollet Avenue. The riotously colored bouquets run just a few dollars, and they are crafted each Sunday morning by Yer Yang and her daughters, Pa and Ma. After sniffing around the flowers for a bit, waiting for a break in the steady stream of customers, I got the chance to speak with Pa while her mother, Yer, set out pints of green beans. read more>>
