Five local farmers are eager to begin selling their produce at the Camden Farmers' Market in mid July. The market is planned for Thursday afternoons 3 pm - 7 pm in the parking lot of The Warren: An Artist’s Habitat, located at 4400 Osseo Road. The date of the grand opening will be announced once we have crossed the last hurdle for the market; the completion of a detailed and complicated application for a mini-market permit from the City of Minneapolis. In the meantime watch The Warren parking lot on Thursdays for the opening of the market. Victory Neighborhood Association and The Warren are pleased to be bringing locally produced, fresh, healthy and affordable food to the Camden Community - and you can walk or ride your bike to get it! No gas required!
