Farmington, Minnesota

Farmington is a city in Empire Township, Dakota County, Minnesota.
The population was 21,267 at the 2011 census.

Farmington was incorporated as a village in 1872 at a junction on the Minnesota Central and the Hastings and Dakota railroads (both acquired by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad [MILW]), and also the Vermillion River. It was created from section 31 of Empire Township, and later more acreage from Empire Township was annexed in addition to part of Castle Rock and Lakeville Townships. A post office was established in 1856. The village had a station serving several railroad lines.

    If I could give them a negative amount of stars, that is what I would leave. First of all, they try to tell you that the scrap buying business is a separate business from the battery business. Sure is funny that they pay you all from 1 check when they buy your batteries and scrap. Sure is funny that when you go to the website, they talk all about recycling and buying different sorts of metals. The place looks like a dump outside and I'm surprised it hasn't been shut down by the city. Employee tried intimidating me into leaving my scrap there saying it isn't worth anything and he wouldn't give me anything for it. Employee was very rude and unprofessional and overall just a jerk. Then when I got in my truck to leave he tried to pick a fight with me just because I said "That's fine, I will just take my business elsewhere". Overall due to a "bad apple" employee, the experience was threatening, unsatisfactory, and most of all just plain unprofessional. From now on I will be taking my business elsewhere and "spreading the word"!

    Saturday they held a fundraiser for Farmington's Veteran Memorial. I was a great event with food and various activities. There was multiple sponsors including the Army who brought a Hummer for display. The Farmington Fire Department also had one of their trucks on display in front. A good time all around.

I found several cards for business associates that were unique, and special; and I also found a few things for me! It's great to see new businesses start from a passion for something! Its easy to see & feel the founders passion when in this store.You go girl- the world needs more women like you!

    What a nice surprise to find such beautiful, large cards in a neat little shop in Farmington MN! Special prices on 3 or more cards, made it possible for me to select a number of photo cards to have on hand for special occasions. I've found another place to look for unusual gift items. Everyone can appreciate food!
