The Minden Farmers Market is getting a fresh new look and location this fall. Beginning November 1, the market will be set up in the alley next to Brick Street Coffee in Minden’s Historic Main Street District, bringing local flavor and community charm to the heart of downtown.

The market will be held from 8 a.m. to noon on November 1, 8, and 29, offering residents the perfect Saturday morning outing filled with fresh produce, local goods and live music by Ben Shirley Music.

Organizers say the new location is part of a broader effort to enhance the downtown experience and make it more accessible to visitors and vendors alike. With the cooler fall weather and the backdrop of Minden’s historic architecture, it’s the ideal spot for a seasonal stroll.

The market will feature locally grown produce, farm-raised meats, handcrafted goods and artisanal creations – a showcase of what makes small-town markets so special. From homemade jams to handcrafted jewelry, visitors can expect a wide range of items made and grown right here in the region.

Vendors are still being accepted for the upcoming dates, and local growers, bakers and artisans are encouraged to join the lineup. Those interested in becoming a vendor can learn more and register by visiting this link: https://app.seemylegacy.com/community/2484/campaign/7428 .
