it’s a yeti Mural! (and more this thursday in uptown)
Uptown Farmers Market Mural
Watch out! A giant Yeti has been spotted in Uptown…the UFM Yeti!
The entire facade of the old Apple Store, 3018 Hennepin, has become a huge mural—and it’s about us! We’re so thankful that the wonderful artist Jason Craig (@jclovely), picture above, has shared his talents with us to promote the market. Plus, a very special thanks to @firstandfirst, the building the mural is located on.
If you think this piece looks familiar, you’d be correct! It’s the same scene that’s being used as the print for our children’s coloring contest (read on for details).
Stop by a take a pic inside the Yeti hand! Post it and tag us on Instagram with the hashtag #UFMyeti.
Wander over to the Uptown Farmers Market THIS THURSDAY!
There's a reason we say it every week: Thursdays are for Uptown. Come load up on peak-season produce, fresh-baked treats, locally made goods and dinner from your favorite farmers market vendors. Stick around for live music, catch up with friends, or simply soak up a summer evening in Uptown.
New UFM swag just landed, too — market totes and hats that carry your haul and support the farmers market at the same time. Every purchase keeps the good vibes growing.

Make Your Produce Sing
The Uptown Farmers Market welcomes a new vendor to the market: The Simple Sauce Company!
The Yang family is thrilled to share their delicious Asian Vinaigrette (the original Simple Sauce) with all of you. Inspired by the exceptional cooking of the family's matriarch, the dressing was crafted to transform salads into a delightful experience with a unique Asian twist.
