In conjunction with the Minnesota Farmers Market Association, the Minnesota Grown Program is promoting local farmers markets during National Farmers’ Market Week this summer (August 1-7, 2010).
As part of this campaign, we have invited markets to participate in the MDA’s Eat Local Challenge. The markets that signed up received “I Buy Local – MinnesotaGrown.com” bumper stickers and window clings for distribution to their market customers. The markets will award market shoppers who have the bumper stickers or window clings on their car during National Farmers’ Market Week by giving away baskets of produce and "I Buy Local" t-shirts from Minnesota Grown. While we can’t promise that we’ll visit all of the markets in person to help award the prizes, we’ll be visiting as many as possible and we will publicize our market visits and awards on the MDA’s website and with a release to local media. Keep an eye open for our "Prize Patrol" at your local market! Minnesota Grown has 127 farmers' markets listed in the Minnesota Grown Directory--find a market near you today!
Here is a list of the 28 participating markets! Visit one of these markets to pick up your window cling.
