What is Radish Farm Stop?

Opening this summer in Southwest Minneapolis. It will be the first “farm stop” model of it’s kind in the state of Minnesota. We are a 100% local, direct from producer grocery store and coffee shop.

Operating as a year-round everyday farmers’ market and cafe, we aim to improve market access for local producers and small businesses, while connecting customers to delicious local products! We merchandise these products just like a regular grocery store.

We’re unique in that we sell the products on consignment which means that producers own the product throughout (like a farmer’s market!), and earn 70% of every sale. This promotes a vibrant marketplace where we are able to support a robust assortment of local producers, and foster a more transparent food system.

What is a Farm Stop?

A Farm Stop is a year-round market that combines the abundance of a farmers' market with the convenience of a grocery store. This is done through a unique consignment model: Farmers and producers bring their goods to the Farm Stop, set their own prices, and earn 70% of every sale (compared to only 15–40% at traditional grocery stores!).

The farm stop name indicates that the store can be a brief stop in the busy days of our farms and customers. Farmers will always get free beverages when they visit the market and they can often stop and pause for a bit of conversation and community. After farmers deliver, we step in and act as stewards of their products, taking care of the marketing, merchandising, and retail on their behalf.

In this way, we are able to make it easier for customers to support their local food economy, shop seasonally, and help farmers spend more time doing what they love: creating, preparing, and eating delicious food. We are working on building a community hub where people can come and support their local food system everyday.
