The Audubon Neighborhood Association is deeply saddened by the passing of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman. As a dedicated public servant, Speaker Hortman leaves behind a legacy of thoughtful leadership and meaningful impact. Speaker Hortman was a champion for environmental protection, education, workers’ rights, and equity. Her leadership was not only historic but her ability to lead with both strength and compassion earned the respect of colleagues across the political spectrum and inspired countless individuals throughout the state. We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and colleagues. We are grateful for her service and the lasting impact she made in our state and our lives. May we honor her legacy by continuing to work toward the inclusive, compassionate, and just community she believed in.

What a bummer. Heavy rain and possibly thunderstorms predicted during our Audubon Farmers Market hours (4-7p) today. So...we'll be closed this Thursday (6/26) but will be open July 3rd just in time for the long Holiday Weekend! And what happens to all that beautiful produce if it doesn't get sold? Through a wonderful MN Dept of Ag grant we are able to compensate our farmers for their produce and can then donate it to Loaves & Fishes and Gustavus Adolphus for Community Meals. Thanks MDA! No food wasted here!
