Minnesota Farmers Union gets in the restaurant business

The Minnesota Farmers Union has opened a new spot in Minneapolis’ Mill District. It’s the first of its kind in the state and connects its guests to local farms like never before. Farmers Kitchen + Bar is in the former Spoonriver space across from the Guthrie Theater. The farmer-to-table eatery features a selection of fresh salads, sandwiches, picnic platters, beer and wine. There’s also a coffee bar serving a State Fair favorite, the Maple Cream Nitro Cold Press year-round, with an assortment of freshly baked pastries. The coffee bar opens at 7:30am while the restaurant is open from 10am to 4pm Wednesday to Sunday.
