Farmers Markets near New Era, MI

New Era

This is the Monday-and-Thursday market on Pentwater's Village Green, running 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. from the first Monday in June through Labor Day, then Thursdays through September. Expect chicken, lamb, and eggs from area farms alongside soaps, salsa, syrup, and baked goods — a lineup built for a lakeside tourist town as much as for locals stocking a kitchen.

Pentwater

Pentwater Farmers Market takes over the Village Green on South Hancock Street twice a week from June through Labor Day, then Thursdays only through September. Local wine, artisan cheese, fresh-caught fish, and focaccia sit next to produce stands and lilac starter plants — a mix that leans more resort-town specialty than bulk vegetables. Eggs, honey, maple syrup, and cut flowers round out the tables most weeks.

Muskegon

Muskegon's winter market moves indoors on Western Avenue when the outdoor season ends, keeping Saturday shopping going through the cold months. Vendors sell fresh vegetables, meats, eggs, dairy, baked goods, prepared foods, and handmade crafts, all sourced from local producers. It's the cold-weather counterpart to the long-running Muskegon Farmers Market a few blocks over.

Muskegon

FARM Food Processing Accelerator is based on Stebbins Road in Muskegon. The name suggests a shared-use kitchen or processing space built to help small food producers scale up production, though no public hours or program details are listed yet.

LUDINGTON

Ludington

Lakeshore Food Club operates out of 920 East Tinkham Avenue in Ludington with a simple mission: nutritious food, dignified access, stronger community. Rather than a traditional farm stand, it's a nonprofit food-access hub that also runs nutrition and meal-planning classes for the community. It's built for people who need groceries without the friction of a typical food-pantry visit — no market stalls, no produce stands, just consistent access. Reach the club directly to ask about eligibility and hours.

Scottville

Scottville's farmers market runs out of Miller's Marketplace on North Main Street, an indoor setup that lets it keep extended weekday hours other Mason County markets can't manage outdoors. Vendors sell baked goods, eggs, honey, cut flowers, and produce, and the market takes credit cards along with Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program benefits — not a given at small markets this size.

Hesperia

Carson Family Beef raises and processes cattle on North Stone Road in Hesperia, selling beef through online bundle orders with pickup at the farm store. There's no walk-in retail — orders go through their website or by phone, and customers pick up once a bundle is ready. It's a small, direct-to-consumer operation in the rural stretch of West Michigan between Grand Rapids and Muskegon.

Fremont
