Farms Near Kalamazoo, MI

Kalamazoo

Kalamazoo

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Koenig's Kountry Pickins is on East P Avenue in Kalamazoo, a city ringed by southwest Michigan farmland known for corn, soybeans, and fruit orchards. No further public details are available.

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.

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.

Richland

Gull Meadow Farms in Richland, just outside Kalamazoo, runs u-pick apples and pumpkins alongside a five-acre corn maze and more than 30 fall attractions, including a petting farm and touch-a-tractor days. Summer brings an art fair, sunflower festival, and balloon fest, and winter adds a holiday light display. The on-site market sells farm products, including fresh donuts.

Vicksburg

A nonprofit since 2010, this Friday market runs 2 to 6 p.m. from late May through early October at 300 North Richardson Street. Beyond the usual produce, baked goods, honey, and herbs, vendors sell caramel corn and kettle corn, and the market hosts oddball community events like the Zucchini 500 race and a family yoga day. Email [email protected] or call (269) 501-7264.

Kalamazoo

Little Pistol Farms operates out of 2335 S. Van Kal St. in Kalamazoo — a city-lot address rather than open farmland, pointing to a small urban growing operation. No hours, products, or website turned up in a search.

Plainwell

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.

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.

Mattawan

Westview Farm runs a stand at 60636 County Road 652 outside Mattawan, in the fruit and vegetable country between Kalamazoo and South Haven. No hours or crop list are posted online, so calling ahead is the safer bet.

Scotts

Sterling Acres combines an equestrian facility with u-pick blueberries on QR Avenue in Scotts, a combination that's been running as an LLC since 2011. Picking season runs July into early August, and the farm asks visitors to bring reusable bags rather than single-use plastic. It's part of the USDF Region 2 equestrian circuit as much as it is a blueberry farm.

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.

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.

Lawton

Otsego

Paw Paw

Berry Brothers Retail grows and sells blueberries from its M-40 farm outside Paw Paw, along with u-pick flowers, coffee, ice cream and fresh-baked goods. The family recently added the former Leduc Blueberry farm to its operations, expanding acreage in southwest Michigan's blueberry country. Multiple retail locations around Paw Paw carry the fruit in season rather than just a single farm stand.

Oswalt Family Farms holds a registered domain that returned no usable content during research. City, products, and contact info remain unconfirmed for this Michigan family farm.

Paw Paw

Climax

Avalon Farms Homegrown operates out of Climax in Kalamazoo County, a stretch of southwest Michigan farmland known for corn, soybeans, and dairy operations. No additional details are published online beyond its address on East OP Avenue.

Knappen Milling turns soft white, soft red, and hard red wheat into all-purpose and artisanal flours, including organic-certified runs, at its mill at 110 South Water St. in Augusta. It's a wholesale operation — the company delivers flour direct to bakeries across the Lower Peninsula and mid-Michigan rather than selling retail. The mill also produced bran for the cereal and snack food industry for years. Call (269) 731-4141 or (800) 562-7736 for orders.

Hickory Corners

Lawton

Hunts Hillside grows strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries under high tunnels outside Lawton, with red raspberries running u-pick from June through October, rain or shine. The farm also sells cut flowers and offers vineyard camping for anyone who wants to stay the night among the rows. Wine tours are listed as coming soon. Look for the high tunnels on 66th Avenue, off M-40 near the Paw Paw exit on I-94.

Otsego

The Martin-area branch of Brookside Farms sits on 116th Avenue near Otsego, one of three u-pick blueberry and seasonal fruit locations the family operates across southwest Michigan. It falls between the Paw Paw and Gobles fields, roughly the middle stop of the three.

Lawton

Vineyard 354 Family Farm is in Lawton, in Van Buren County's wine country near Paw Paw — home to some of Michigan's oldest commercial vineyards. No website or public hours turned up in research; call ahead before visiting.

Lawton

Verhage Farms is based in Lawton, in Van Buren County's fruit belt near Michigan's wine trail and blueberry country. No independent website, hours, or pricing could be confirmed online — call or check local farm stand listings before visiting.

Ridgeview Blueberries grows a longer list than its name suggests — blueberries, yes, but also beans, corn, cucumbers, peaches, peppers, raspberries, squash, strawberries, and tomatoes, all open for u-pick outside Martin in Allegan County. It's the kind of farm where the picking calendar runs from early summer straight through Michigan's short growing season, one crop taking over as the last one finishes.

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.

Martin

Gobles

Brookside Farms' Gobles location, on County Road 388, is the northernmost of the family's three southwest Michigan u-pick sites growing blueberries and seasonal fruit. As with the Paw Paw and Otsego locations, picking windows track whatever is ripening that week.

Allegan

Forstner has grown blueberries in Allegan since 1951, more than 70 years under the same family. Berries come u-pick or pre-picked, in pints, quarts, 2-pound clamshells, or 5-pound boxes, with peak season running July through mid-August. They run specials on Wednesdays and ask that large orders call ahead — the same practice they've followed since long before most of their current customers were born.

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.

Three Rivers

Three Rivers sits in St. Joseph County, southwest Michigan farm country where row crops and berry patches share the same sandy loam. Burda's Berry Farm is listed here as a u-pick produce operation, though no working website turned up to confirm this year's picking schedule.

Gobles

Harvest Moon Acres runs a 5-acre corn maze on M-40 in Gobles alongside hayrides, farm animals, a pumpkin patch, and a Fun Zone play area. The farm markets itself as southwestern Michigan's outdoor fall destination and operates weekends during the season, selling both unlimited season passes and single-day tickets for visiting families.

Hickory Corners

Paw Paw

Morrison's Sunny Fields sits near Paw Paw, the Van Buren County seat known for its wineries and fruit orchards along the I-94 corridor. No public listing spells out exactly what Sunny Fields grows or when it's open to visitors.

Marcellus

Paw Paw

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.

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.

Three River

Joe's Farm is a first generation small family farm that produces high quality food in a way that is good for our customers, the animal, and the environment through regenerative methods and pastured poultry. Joe's Farm was founded in 2011 by Joe Koopsen at the age of 15. Joe started raising chickens in 2008 at the age of 12 with a few hens in his backyard, selling eggs through Facebook. Joe quickly realized he wanted to provide fresh eggs to more people. Having not been brought up in a farming fa

Marcellus

This listing is registered under the name Diane Marcellus on M-216 in Marcellus, a small Cass County community in southwest Michigan's farm belt. No further public details are available.

Mistee Creek Farms grows apples and pumpkins for u-pick visitors outside Shelbyville, a straightforward crop-and-harvest operation in Allegan County farm country. Call ahead of a visit to confirm what's ready to pick — Michigan's apple and pumpkin windows shift a few weeks each year depending on the season.

This market operates inside Scidmore Park, the riverfront park at the meeting point of the St. Joseph, Portage, and Rocky Rivers that gave Three Rivers its name. Vendors bring produce, baked goods, plants, and prepared foods through the growing season. Call the city's parks department at 269-273-1075 for this year's market days and hours, since the schedule is set fresh each season.

Springfield

Sprout — locally known as Sprout BC — is a nonprofit food hub on Military Street in Springfield running a subscription grocery box built around Michigan-grown and Michigan-made food, delivered to homes and workplaces across four southwest Michigan counties. The organization has also been developing a community-owned retail cooperative in downtown Battle Creek with a café serving ready-to-eat meals. It's less a farmers market than a food-access delivery service, though the mission — get local food to more tables — is the same.
