The Twin Cities was recently introduced to a new way to shop from home by browsing online for your favorite farmer’s market vendors called Market Wagon. Market Wagon started in 2016 with an exciting goal in mind. They wanted to provide local farmers and food vendors an option to sell their food from one spot (not multiple markets) and provide families an opportunity to shop for locally produced food online with it all being delivered straight to your house in a single delivery!
Market Wagon is a unique way to buy local and here are some of the reasons why:
- Market Wagon delivers to EVERY home in a 7-county region of Minneapolis/Saint Paul. For a full look at the delivery map click here.
- No matter where you live, no matter whether you buy 1 item from a single farmer or 100 items from 20 different farmers, the delivery fee is just a flat $6.95
- That means that 40+ farmers and food producers who offer 500+ products right now can get them inside the homes of Twin Cities families each week.
- They welcome any farmer or producer to join.
- It’s also open all winter long unlike traditional farmers markets!
A few added bonuses by using Market Wagon:
- Their website gives you recommendations based on previous orders
- You can subscribe to different foods from your favorite farmers!

- It’s easy and convenient and it’s pretty awesome to shop local!
