Farmers Markets near Allegan, MI

Allegan

Allegan Farmers Market operates on Locust Street in downtown Allegan, the county seat on the Kalamazoo River in West Michigan. Allegan County's mix of fruit orchards and vegetable farms feeds markets throughout the region, and this one sits in the middle of that growing area.

Old School Farmers Market operates out of Allegan on Lincoln Road, selling produce, proteins, and specialty goods from regional farms and small food producers. Beyond a handful of directory listings, there's little published detail on this market's exact hours or history, so it's worth confirming current days before making the drive.

Dorr

Twin Acres Farm in Dorr is a small family operation built around a simple line from its owners: growing their own food and knowing what's in it. Each season adds another piece toward living off the land — more canning, more hunting, more of the farm doing double duty. It's a working farm first, not a retail storefront, so reach out directly through Facebook or email before making the drive out to Zellman Court.

Otsego

Otsego Farmers Market sets up Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., May through October, in the parking lot at the Otsego Church of God on M-89. Local growers bring in-season vegetables and fruit — the lineup shifts with the calendar, heavier on greens in early summer and squash and apples by fall. It's a small-town market run by the growers who show up week after week, not a produce distributor's booth. Vendors pay a seasonal fee to sell here, which keeps the roster local.

Martin Marketplace runs out of a building at 1619 12th Ave in this small Allegan County town, selling produce, baked goods, flowers, honey, and other homemade goods from local vendors. The market operates indoors, which keeps it going through the shoulder seasons that shut down open-air markets elsewhere in southwest Michigan. Around 550 people follow its Facebook page for weekly vendor lineups and hours.

Plainwell

Kalamazoo

Alamo Farmers' and Crafters' Market operates on West D Avenue in Alamo Township, Kalamazoo County. Pairing produce vendors with craft sellers under one market is a common rural-township format in the region, built for towns too small to support a market of either kind alone.

Plainwell

Almena Farmers' Market operates out of Almena Township near Paw Paw, in Van Buren County's fruit-and-wine belt along Michigan's southwest lakeshore corridor. The county's sandy soil and lake-effect climate support the grape and fruit orchards that regional markets like this one typically draw from.

Hudsonville

Hudsonville Farmers' Market & Crafts sets up outdoors at 3302 Prospect Street, spring through fall, on the grounds of the local grain elevator company that helps run it. Vendors sell produce, baked goods, flowers, prepared foods, and artisan goods. Shoppers describe a wide range of prices across vendors, not just one price point.

Holland

Community Action House runs a membership-based grocery store on Paw Paw Drive in Holland, where families shop using points scaled to household size and income rather than paying full retail. The nonprofit also operates a mobile market, a community kitchen, a resale store, and the Holland Community Garden, alongside financial-wellness classes and free tax prep. It partners with Lakeshore Food Rescue to redirect surplus food instead of sending it to landfills.

Paw Paw

Paw Paw Farmers Market sets up Sundays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., May through October, in the lot at the corner of Gremps Street and East Michigan Avenue. Vendors come from Van Buren County and the surrounding region, with a few crossing over from nearby Indiana and Ohio counties to sell produce and homemade goods. The market was built to give the Village of Paw Paw a weekly reason to gather, not just a place to shop.

Bangor Farmers Market operates on Monroe Street in Bangor, a Van Buren County city in Michigan's fruit belt along the southwest lakeshore. The surrounding county grows more blueberries and grapes than almost anywhere else in the state, which shapes what shows up on market tables here.

Wyoming

Metro Health Farm Market sets up in front of the hospital on Byron Center Avenue in Wyoming, drawing around 60 vendors from across West Michigan. Shoppers find farm-fresh produce, meats, cheeses, honey, maple syrup, baked goods, cut flowers, and prepared foods, plus soap and jam from area makers. It's also known locally as the UM Health-West Farm Market.

Holland

Holland Farmers Market runs Wednesdays and Saturdays, 8am to 2pm, rain or shine, spring through fall, at 150 West 8th Street in downtown Holland. More than 75 vendors sell produce, meat and poultry, dairy and eggs, baked goods, flowers, herbs, and prepared foods, with a Power of Produce club that gets kids a few dollars in tokens to spend on fruits and vegetables. Parking downtown is free.

Holland's municipal farmers market has run for more than 45 years at the 8th Street Marketplace next to Holland Civic Center Place. More than 75 vendors sell fresh produce, jams, honey, artisan cheese and meats, fresh fish, cut flowers, and the market's well-known blueberry donuts. It runs Wednesdays and Saturdays from mid-May through mid-December, then Saturdays only into spring.

Saugatuck-Douglas Green Market runs Friday mornings, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., spring through fall, at the Saugatuck Center for the Arts on Culver Street. Also known locally as the Market at SCA, it keeps a curated vendor list rather than an open-signup model — produce, prepared foods, and handmade goods from West Michigan farms and makers. The art center tie-in shows: expect more polish here than at a typical roadside stand.

The Saugatuck Center for the Arts hosts this Friday market on its Culver Street grounds, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., spring through fall. Vendors bring fresh produce, baked goods, and handmade crafts, set among the center's sculpture garden and landscaped grounds. Call 269-857-2399 or check the Market at SCA Facebook page for weekly vendor lists.

Georgetown Township

The Georgetown Township Farmers Market sets up outside the Georgetown Township Public Library at 1525 Baldwin Street in Jenison, Monday evenings from 4 to 7:30pm, mid-June through late August. Beyond produce and baked goods, the schedule includes food trucks and live music on select weeks, plus family programming aimed at library patrons who wander over after story time.

Held at the Douglass Community Association, a Northside Kalamazoo nonprofit at 1000 W. Paterson Street that's served the neighborhood for more than a century. The address matches the market's listing exactly, though current market hours and vendor details aren't posted on the association's site — call to confirm this season's schedule.

Grandville

Grandville Farmers Market sets up outdoors at 4144 Chicago Drive Southwest, spring through fall, with a park-style layout of produce, baked goods, potted plants and flowers, and artisan goods. It's run through the City of Grandville, which posts the season's vendor schedule and any weather cancellations on the city website. Chicago Drive itself is the old US-16 corridor connecting Grand Rapids to Grandville, still one of the busier commercial strips on the west side of the metro.

Lawrence

Holland

Waukazoo Market sets up three mornings a week — Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., spring through fall — at 1126 Ottawa Beach Road in Holland. The lineup is smaller than Holland's downtown market: produce, baked goods, artisan goods, and a meat vendor, with SNAP and WIC accepted. It draws the beach-road crowd headed to or from Lake Michigan.

This listing's address, 601 John Street, places it in Kalamazoo rather than the town of Bronson — likely a winter market held near downtown Kalamazoo's Bronson Park. No independent listing was found to confirm vendors or a schedule.

Kalamazoo

Texas Township's Saturday market runs 8 a.m. to noon from Memorial Day through mid-October at 7110 West Q Avenue, with covered stalls for rain days and a playground on-site for kids. Vendors sell fresh produce, meat, local wine, flowers, plants, baked goods, and artisan crafts. Call 269-375-1591 or visit texastownship.org/farmers-market for the season's live-music lineup.

Kalamazoo

Kalamazoo

Kalamazoo

Kalamazoo Farmers Market fills 251 Mills Street every Saturday, 8am to 1pm, May through October, with more than 120 local farmers, food businesses, and artisans. The market accepts SNAP/EBT and matches purchases through Double Up Food Bucks, making it one of the larger and more accessible markets in southwest Michigan.

Little Red Shed Farm Market is a family-owned stand at 79202 M-40 in Lawton, run by owners Andy and Abbey, selling homegrown carrots, cucumbers, green beans, melons, peppers, pumpkins, sweet corn, squash, tomatoes, watermelon, and zucchini alongside jams, jellies, and baked goods. It's open multiple days a week, including weekend mornings, spring through fall.

Allendale

Grand Valley State University runs its own farmers market on the Allendale campus, set up in Parking Lot G off Campus Drive. It keeps weekday hours rather than a single Saturday morning slot: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 9am-3:30pm, Wednesday 8am-3:30pm, Friday 9am-4pm, closed weekends. Vendors sell produce, baked goods, and artisan goods, drawing both students and area residents to Lot G between classes throughout the week.

Kentwood

Kentwood Farmers Market runs Mondays, 4:30 to 7:30pm, June through August, at the Kentwood Activities Center on Breton Road Southeast. The City of Kentwood Parks and Recreation Department organizes it, and it accepts SNAP, Senior Project FRESH, and Double Up Food Bucks alongside regular cash sales.

Kalamazoo

Kalamazoo County Parks runs this indoor market at 2900 Lake Street inside the County Expo Center, mixing flea-market tables with produce and food vendors selling jam, maple syrup, honey, baked goods, meat, and crafts. Admission and parking are free. Hours run seasonally, and vendors and dates vary enough that calling ahead beats guessing.

Caledonia

Caledonia is a fast-growing Kent County township just south of Grand Rapids. Its farmers market runs on Cherry Valley Avenue Southeast, though no current website or vendor list was found online to confirm hours or offerings.

Allendale Farmers' Market sets up along Lake Michigan Drive in Allendale, an Ottawa County township best known as home to Grand Valley State University. The market gives the college-town population a produce source outside the chain grocery stores lining the same corridor.

Alger Heights Farmers' Market sets up on Eastern Avenue SE in the Alger Heights neighborhood on Grand Rapids' south side. It's one of several neighborhood-scale markets the city supports outside the larger downtown market, serving shoppers who'd otherwise drive across town for fresh produce.

South Haven

South Haven Farm Market runs Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., mid-May through mid-October, with an added Wednesday market June through August — both under the Huron Street pavilion downtown. Fresh fruit and vegetables share table space with flowers, meat, eggs, and baked goods from growers across the region, in a lakeshore town that draws heavy summer tourist traffic looking for something beyond the beach.

Grand Rapids

Grand Rapids

Community Food Club is based on Division Avenue South in Grand Rapids, a corridor with several food-access nonprofits and social-service groups. No public hours, membership details, or contact information are listed yet.

Grand Rapids

Named for the labor organizer, this market sits on Rumsey Street Southwest in Grand Rapids' southwest side. No current website was found to confirm its vendors, hours, or season.

Portage

Portage Farmers Market runs Sundays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., May through mid-October, with more than 35 vendors — sizable for a market that only started in 2016. The lineup covers the expected produce and baked goods, plus gourmet mushrooms, locally roasted coffee, pasture-raised meat, and a rotating cast of food trucks. The city's Parks and Recreation department runs it directly, which is why the vendor list stays this organized for a market its age.

Grand Rapids

Small market sourcing first from BIPOC and women-led businesses and farms.

Grand Rapids

A year-round indoor food hall at 435 Ionia Avenue SW, home to 21 merchants — butchers, bakers, fishmongers, and ice cream makers — plus a commercial kitchen and an incubator program for food entrepreneurs. Open Monday-Friday 11am-8pm and weekends 10am-8pm, with public events and private event rentals throughout the year.

Richland

Richland Farmers Market runs Wednesdays, 3 to 6 p.m., May through September, at the Richland Area Community Center on East CD Avenue. The vendor mix leans toward Michigan-made crafts — wood products, baskets, fiber goods, jewelry — alongside produce and a food truck most weeks. It's built as much as a gathering spot for Richland, Kalamazoo, and Battle Creek residents as a place to shop, with occasional live music or demonstrations added to the schedule.

Grand Rapids

Our Kitchen Table, a Grand Rapids food-justice nonprofit, runs this market at Joe Taylor Park and gives priority vendor space to women of color and home growers from the surrounding southeast side neighborhoods. Tables carry local produce, cottage-kitchen foods, personal care items, crafts, and ready-to-eat meals. The market runs 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on market days and takes SNAP and other food assistance benefits.

Galesburg Community Market runs indoors at 45 East Michigan Avenue in this small Kalamazoo County town off I-94. Vendors sell produce, baked goods, potted plants and cut flowers, and handmade crafts. The market takes SNAP/EBT, which matters in a farm county where a lot of the surrounding acreage still grows corn, soybeans, and orchard fruit rather than feeding local tables directly.
