Who'll Be Selling At Linden Hills Farmers Market?

Another farmers market is coming to Linden Hills. And boy, does it look tasty!

celebrity chef, Steven Brown, has been leading the charge, promising a showcase of "the exceptional, beautiful, and unique goods these wonderfully industrious and creative people(..)grow and create." Mark Settergren, of , will be playing host with his parking lot.

“We want to embrace the wonderful sense of community in Linden Hills while providing quality farmers and artisans an opportunity to reach a customer base that truly supports the hard work and ethos these people embody,” Brown said in a statement sent to Patch. “We also believe any event that brings friends and neighbors together is a positive one that will enhance our community.
