SMOKE SIGNALS™ DBA The LITTLE MARKET THAT COULD™ 2022 VISION

Sending a smoke signal to our sponsors, friends, vendors & volunteers...
It takes a lot of work to make The Little Market That Could™ Fresh Open Air Farmers Market happen each Thursday 4pm-7pm weekly from June through September at:
16907 HYW 13 S Prior Lake MN
You may see several hundreds of shoppers each week, however big crowds do not directly translate into more income for us.
We are a non-profit 501(c)3 and our farmers market relies solely on vendor stall fees plus sponsors, grants and volunteers to keep things going. Today!

As Smoke Signals™ The Little Market That Could™ seeds grow and we offer quality programs such as USDA EBT/SNAP, MN Power Of Produce Program and continue to develop and implement more community events such as: Educational Activities, Presentations & Exhibits, Tractor Pulls For Kids, Farm Animal Nights, Wellness & Health Music, Street Performers/ Busking, Food Truck Rallies, Classic Vehicle Roll-ins, SS fundraising sip n' snack shack and with growing hopes for a Transit Vehicle that will pickup/drop-off our Seniors to make their weekly fresh food shopping excursion easier, we also need the support of our community – to make The Little Market That Could™ a perennial success.
What can you do? Become a Sponsor of The Little Market That Could! Today!

And you are doing your part to keep The Little Market That Could alive with friends, fresh food, lively music and awesome classic vehicles that roll-in to Prior Lake.
