Farmers Markets near Benton Harbor, MI

Benton Harbor

Benton Harbor Farmers Market operates on Pipestone Street in downtown Benton Harbor, a Berrien County city in Michigan's southwest fruit belt. It's a separate, present-day market from the historic Benton Harbor Fruit Market wholesale operation that once ran nearby — this one serves retail shoppers in the city center.

Benton Harbor

Harbor Market sets up Wednesdays from 10am to 3pm at 510 W. Main Street in Benton Harbor, spring through fall. Vendors sell produce, baked goods, and artisan goods, and past markets have included vegan meats, jewelry, and clothing alongside the usual fruits and vegetables, with live music on some market days.

Benton Harbor Fruit Market, on Territorial Road in neighboring Benton Township, replaced the original wholesale fruit market that once stood in Benton Harbor's "flats" district before that area was demolished in a 1967 urban renewal project. It remains a noted landmark in a county still built around fruit growing.

Mick Klüg Farms in St. Joseph, Michigan has hand-harvested premium fruit and vegetables for generations, supplying Chicago-land and Southwest Michigan through farmers markets, wholesale delivery routes, and June, peak-season, and full-season CSA subscriptions.

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.

Niles

Niles Artisan Alley Market takes over East Main Street with a European-style open-air setup, running Sundays from late spring through summer. Vendors sell fresh produce, baked breads, handcrafted clothing, flowers, and other artisan foods in the alley space downtown. The city maintains an official page for current season dates, since exact hours have shifted year to year.

This Niles market, once branded as part of the Bensidoun French Market network, sets up near the corner of Front and Main downtown. Vendors have sold seasonal produce, breads, flowers, books, clothing, and other specialty goods on summer Sundays, though some local listings now refer to the same event as the Niles Homegrown Market.

Three Oaks

Fridays from 3 to 7 p.m., this market takes over North Elm Street in downtown Three Oaks, spring through fall. Vendors sell fresh produce, meat, seafood, flowers, baked goods, and handmade crafts — an unusually wide mix for a town this size.

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.

New Buffalo

Lawrence

New Buffalo

New Buffalo's Thursday market runs 2 to 6 p.m. from May through early October on North Whittaker Street, a short walk from the beach and the town's restaurant row. Vendors sell produce, meats and seafood, artisan cheeses, baked goods, crafts, and jewelry. Mick Klug Farms, one of the region's known growers, keeps a farmstand a block away on the same street.

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.
