SMOKE SIGNALS™ DBA The LITTLE MARKET THAT COULD™ 2023 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.

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!
