Last week it felt like spring in Minnesota — then we got another 22 inches of snow. The dumping of snow made me think fondly of the market that was near my house last summer. I wondered if there was a way to recreate that feeling, so I looked up Minnesota Grown and found winter farmers markets! Locavores will get their fix of locally raised meats, eggs, jams, jellies and more.
