COMO PARK FARMERS’ MARKET

There’s nothing better than fresh food and community connection. The Como Park Farmers’ Market returns this season, bringing together local growers, makers, and neighbors in one vibrant space.

This year, the market will take place in the CPLC parking lot at 1545 Hamline Ave N in St. Paul and will be held every Thursday from 2:00–6:00 PM, running May 14 through October 29. Please note there will be no market on August 27 or September 3.

You’ll find a wide variety of locally grown and produced foods, along with handmade goods from area vendors. The market accepts SNAP/EBT and offers matching programs to help make fresh, local food more accessible to everyone.

We look forward to seeing you at the market and celebrating the best of the season together.

Using SNAP/EBT at the Market: https://stpaulfarmersmarket.com/food-assistance-2/

• Stop at the information tent or table at any market.

• Show your EBT card or ask for an EBT transaction. (EBT cards from other states are accepted.)

• Market staff will ask how much you’d like to charge to your card. This amount is deducted from your monthly SNAP balance.

• For example, if you deduct $10, you will receive $10 in tokens to spend with participating vendors.

• You will also receive $10 in Market Bucks and $10 in Produce Bucks—these are free matching dollars you can use to buy more fresh food.

• The market can match up to $10 per visit.

  • So if you charge $30, you’ll receive $30 in tokens, $10 in Market Bucks, and $10 in Produce Bucks.
