This law establishes a category of public market called "produce and craft markets," which may "contain market vendors selling self-produced goods, of any type, with a maximum of one (1) market vendor, or ten (10) percent of market vendors, whichever is greater, permitted as a seasonal food vendor selling packaged food for off-site consumption." (§ 201.50(1)). Allowed vendors include: farmers/growers; registered cottage food vendors; seasonal food permit vendors reselling fresh produce; Minneapolis seasonal food vendors serving food for immediate consumption; craft producers; service vendors; and plant vendors. At least 30% of vendors must be food vendors; and vendors selling non-food items for third parties or recycled/"vintage" goods are not allowed.
The law restricts vendors from selling packaged food for off-site consumption (only one or at most 10% of vendors are allowed to do so) and allows "seasonal food permit vendor reselling only fresh fruits and vegetables, and only when said produce is not in season and not available at the market." § 201.50.
See definition of produce and craft market, which defines market as being organized for the purpose of allowing various types of vendors (including farmers/growers of agricultural products) to sell products directly to the public. (§201.10).
