Marshall Area Farmers' Tuesday Mini Market
2026-08-25 16:30 - 18:00 (America/Chicago) | Main Stay Cafe, 316 W Main St., Marshall, MN, 56258, United States
The Marshall Farmers Market is excited to welcome the community back for another season of fresh produce, baked goods, handcrafted items, and locally grown products.
The Saturday Market opens Saturday, July 11, and will be held every Saturday through October 31 from 7:30 a.m. to Noon. The market is located behind the Marshall Area YMCA in the Schwan’s Parking Lot at 200 S. A Street, Marshall, Minnesota.
In addition to the Saturday market, shoppers can visit the Tuesday Mini Market, held July 7 through August 25, from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. at Terrace 1872, next to MainStay Cafe in downtown Marshall.
Visitors will find a variety of locally grown fruits and vegetables, baked goods, honey, flowers, handcrafted products, and more while supporting area farmers and small businesses. Live music is scheduled for many Saturdays throughout the summer and early fall, creating a fun, family-friendly atmosphere for shoppers.
The Marshall Farmers Market proudly accepts EBT/SNAP benefits (formerly food stamps). Through the market’s matching program, shoppers who spend $10 in EBT/SNAP receive an additional $10 to spend at the market, doubling their purchasing power for fresh, local foods.
The market also accepts Minnesota Sun Bucks cards. Families who qualify for the state’s Sun Bucks program receive $120 per eligible school-aged child to purchase groceries during the summer months. Sun Bucks cards are also eligible for the market’s matching program, giving eligible families even more access to fresh, locally grown foods.
The Marshall Farmers Market also offers its popular Power of Produce (PoP) Program every Saturday. There are no income or residency requirements—everyone is welcome to participate. Any child ages 2-16 and any adult 55 and older can receive $4 to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables each Saturday at the market.
Thanks to the generous support of ADM, the Kids Power of Produce Program has expanded this season. The eligible age range has increased from ages 3-12 to ages 2-16, and the incentive has doubled from $2 to $4 per child each Saturday. The Senior PoP Program will continue to provide $4 each week for participants ages 55 and older.
While a few vendors accept debit cards or Venmo, all vendors accept cash, so shoppers are encouraged to bring cash when visiting the market. There is no ATM on site.
The Marshall Farmers Market is grateful for the support of its community partners, including ADM, the Marshall Area YMCA, and CJ Schwan’s, as well as the many businesses sponsoring live music throughout the season and the volunteers who make the market possible.
The Marshall Farmers Market invites everyone to shop local, meet area farmers and makers, enjoy live music, and experience the best of southwest Minnesota throughout the season.

U of MN Strip-Till Expo-Lamberton
2026-09-09 09:00 - 15:30 | swroc lamberton, 23669 130th St, Lamberton, MN, 56152, United States
Are you or farmers you work with looking for ways to reduce input costs while maintaining yield and improving resilience?.
Research and on-farm experience has shown that strip tillage can result in economic, environmental, and soil health benefits. Strip tillage can reduce soil loss by approximately two tons per acre while maintaining or improving profitability compared to conventional systems. Fewer field passes also mean lower fuel use, reduced labor, and less equipment wear.
Join us on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm at the Southwest Research and Outreach Center in Lamberton, MN to hear from experienced strip-tillage farmers and University of MN researchers about this conservation tillage system. Attendees will also be able to compare multiple systems in side-by-side demonstrations in the same field and under the same conditions. The event is free to attend, thanks to sponsor support, but pre-registration is requested to assist with meal planning. For more information and to register, visit: z.umn.edu/Stexpo.
