Vendor Highlights

Growing in All Seasons Booths 28-30 Stop by and visit Mau Family Produce, another original market vendor, for tomatoes, cucumbers, summer squash, kohlrabi and more. John and Anna start their growing season indoors at their Maple Grove farm in February and then transplant their plants outdoors when Minnesota spring permits. Starting indoors allows them to have a longer growing season, which means you’ll see winter squash, pumpkins and ornamental gourds later this fall. Stop by for some hot pepper jam as well!
