Harvest Social 2026 - Mill City Farmers Market

the 2026 Harvest Social is sold out.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13th

5:00-7:30pm

Mill City Museum Ruins Courtyard

The Harvest Social is our annual celebration of our local food community and the people who make it possible. Proceeds from the Harvest Social go directly towards our mission to create a vibrant community marketplace while also providing grant funding to family farms across the region.

For the very first time in our 20-year history, every table available has been purchased and the Harvest Social is sold out. We’re overwhelmed by this response. It speaks to how much this community believes in our mission and supports sustainable farms and food access in our region.

Please consider supporting a strong local food community by making a tax-deductible donation below:

Your Impact

Tickets for the Harvest Social include a donation to the MCFM Charitable Fund. The Mill City Farmers Market Charitable Fund is a 501(c)3 nonprofit created to support and expand our mission and deepen our impact as an anchor in the local food system. It enables us to:

Expand access to organic local food through our Greens for Good food donation program and SNAP/EBT Market Bucks matching program which triple matches grocery dollars for our community members who experience food insecurity.
Fund grants to local food producers through our Next Stage and Hardship Grant Programs, supporting local, regenerative farmers and food producers in both good times and bad.
Provide experiential learning opportunities for all ages in a thriving, inclusive gathering place with a direct connection to the source of one’s food; empowering support for a local, sustainable and resilient food economy.
Host free opportunities for movement by offering yoga & movement classes in partnership with local studios on Saturdays during the outdoor season
Build small businesses by providing a primary weekly marketplace, training on local sourcing and connections with other vendors, building brand recognition, market setup and audience.
Collaborate with partners like the Farmers Markets of Minneapolis Collaborative to leverage our collective resources that support a sustainable, local food economy rooted in abundance and community.
Grow innovative approaches and solutions that sustain and grow a thriving local food system and community through lowering waste, uplifting marginalized communities and funding sustainable research.
