Farmers Markets near Imlay City, MI

Imlay City

Almont Farmers Market sets up on South Main Street along M-53 in Almont, a Lapeer County village on the western edge of Michigan's Thumb region. The highway-front location puts it in view of through-traffic headed toward the Thumb's farm country.

Romeo

Romeo's farmers market sets up in the village during the growing season, with the site relocating some years to make way for the town's Peach Festival — check Facebook before making a special trip. Vendors run local produce, baked goods, eggs, and meat alongside handmade knits, toys, home décor, and raw honey. It's a small operation, listed with the Michigan Farmers Market Association, built around Romeo's downtown rather than a fairground lot.

Lapeer

Lapeer Farmers Market runs Wednesdays and Saturdays, 9am to 2pm, May through October, on Historic Courthouse Square at 287 W. Nepessing Street. Local tourism materials call it Lapeer County's largest open-air market, with vendors selling produce, honey, baked goods, and handmade crafts, and it accepts Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program coupons.

Richmond

Armada Flea and Farmers Market operates on Armada Ridge Road in Macomb County, pairing flea-market vendors with produce sellers under one market — a common format for the rural townships ringing Detroit's northern exurbs, where a single market has to serve shoppers looking for both secondhand goods and fresh food.

Marlette

Lake Orion Farmers Market, also known locally as the Orion Township Farmers Market, runs Wednesdays, 2 to 7pm, from mid-June through late October at 93 S. Anderson Street. Vendors are Orion Township-area artisans and food producers rather than a broader regional lineup.

Orion Farmers' Market operates out of Howarth Church on Silverbell Road in Lake Orion, selling fresh produce, artisanal foods, and handcrafted goods from area vendors. Several farmers market directories list it, but no dedicated market website or phone number turned up in a search, so shoppers are best served checking the church's own postings for current hours.

Mi

Rochester

Saturdays, 8am to 1pm, May through October (closed on July 4th), at the corner of East Third and Water Street in downtown Rochester. More than 50 vendors sell produce, meat, baked goods, honey, and prepared foods; leashed dogs are welcome, and the market accepts Michigan EBT and Double Up Food Bucks.

Shelby Township

Shelby Farmers Market sets up Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., May through October, on the grounds of the Packard Proving Grounds — the historic automotive test track that gives the market its other name, the Packard Farmers Market. Free guided tours of the grounds run every Saturday at 11 a.m. during the season, and half the market's proceeds go to the Packard Motor Car Foundation's preservation work. Running since 2008, it pairs local produce and crafts with a piece of Michigan car history most visitors don't expect.

Ortonville Farmers Market sets up on Mill Street in this small Oakland County village, with vendors bringing local produce, farmed foods, and handmade crafts. Downtown Ortonville's business association promotes the market alongside its other events. A separate event called Beets, Beats, and Eats runs at nearby Crossman Park, so it's worth checking which market is on which weekend.

Sandusky Farmers' Market serves this Sanilac County seat with a seasonal run of produce and baked goods from area growers, in a county built more on dairy farms and cash crops than tourism. It's a small operation without much online presence — the kind of market you find driving through downtown on a Saturday rather than by searching for it.

Village of Clarkston

Clarkston Family Farm is a nonprofit educational farm on Hubbard Road built to teach kids about healthy food and sustainable growing. Its Sunflower Market sells farm eggs, produce, honey, syrup, and candles, and a summer CSA share runs alongside camps, workshops, and school field trips. The farm opens to visitors Wednesday and Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., during the growing season.

Pontiac

Pontiac Farmers Market brings local growers and craft vendors to North Saginaw Street in downtown Pontiac once a month, May through October. It's smaller and less frequent than the year-round Oakland County Market a few miles away in Waterford, which requires vendors to sell only what they produce themselves. Downtown Pontiac's version leans on whatever the season offers, plus handcrafted goods from regional makers.

New Baltimore

Clarkston

Clarkston is a small, historic Oakland County village built around a 19th-century downtown. Its farmers market meets at the Clarkston Community Education Building on Waldon Road; no current website was found to confirm vendors or season.

Oakland County Farmers Market runs three days a week, May through December, and Saturdays only the rest of the year, at the county parks building on Pontiac Lake Road in Waterford. More than 100 farmers and artisans from 17 Michigan counties sell produce, baked goods, flowers, and crafts, and the market runs free yoga and tai chi sessions on-site.

New Baltimore

New Baltimore's market runs Sundays only, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., May through October, on Washington Street in the historic downtown. The nonprofit behind it enforces a 75/25 rule: vendors must grow or make at least three-quarters of what's on their table themselves. Expect specialty crop farmers, flower and microgreen growers, food trucks, and artisans, about 30 minutes northeast of Detroit.

Village of Clarkston

The Clarkston Area Farmers' Market brings fresh, wholesome, locally grown food and merchandise to the community of Clarkston, Michigan under the motto "Cook well. Eat well. Live well."

Davison

A seasonal farmers market in Davison, Genesee County, on East Court Street in the city's downtown corridor. No current vendor lineup or hours are posted publicly — worth a call to the Davison Downtown Development Authority before making the trip.

Smiths Creek

Held on Roosevelt Street in the Thumb-area community of Smiths Creek, this market pairs the usual seasonal produce, plants, and baked goods with a flea-market side selling secondhand goods and collectibles. It runs spring through fall and accepts EBT/SNAP and WIC. Check the market's Facebook events for that week's hours, since the schedule shifts through the season.

Marysville's combined farmers and flea market sets up along Gratiot Boulevard in this St. Clair County river town, mixing local produce and baked goods with flea-market tables of secondhand goods. Vendor spots run through the city's recreation department, and road construction has pushed the market to temporary lots more than once. Check the Facebook page before driving out, since the site shifts.
