Minnesota Farmers Union Opens Farmers Kitchen in Minneapolis
MINNEAPOLIS – The Minnesota Farmers Union is opening a restaurant and bar in Minneapolis.
Farmers Kitchen + Bar opens Wednesday in Minneapolis’ historic Mill District.
The MFU full board voted to open the restaurant in August 2019, but plans were interrupted by COVID-19. After being put on hold for much of 2020, the project moved forward in 2021 with a goal of bringing farm-fresh food directly to guests.
The restaurant is open Wednesday through Sunday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Kitchen hours are 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. From 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., the coffee bar will be open and there will be pastries and grab-and-go items for sale. Beginning at 10:00 a.m., the kitchen will be open, serving appetizers, salads, sandwiches and picnic platters in addition to the grab-and-go items and pastries. Vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free items are on the menu.
