Farmers Markets near Ottawa Lake, MI

behind Frosty Boy Blissfield

Blissfield Farmers Market sets up behind the Frosty Boy on West Adrian Street in Blissfield, a Lenawee County village in southeast Michigan's grain and produce belt. Sharing a lot with a longtime local drive-in gives the market built-in foot traffic on market days.

Adrian

Madison Farmers Market runs Saturdays, 7am to 1pm, May through October, at 3000 Treat Street in Adrian. It's one of Lenawee County's longer-running Saturday markets, drawing from the surrounding farm country in Michigan's southeast corner near the Ohio line.

Tecumseh

The Tecumseh Area Chamber of Commerce runs this Saturday market on East Chicago Boulevard, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., spring through fall. Vendors sell fresh produce, meat, honey, coffee, cut flowers, baked goods, and artisan crafts, with parking available across the street. Reach the chamber at 517-451-8063 or [email protected] for vendor applications or event details.

Milan

Milan's Saturday market runs 7 a.m. to noon on Wabash Street from spring through fall, with vendors who are the actual farmers, bakers, and cheesemakers behind what's on their tables rather than resellers. Expect local produce, meats, artisan foods, seasonal flowers, and street food alongside handmade crafts in this small Washtenaw-Monroe border town.

Adrian

Adrian City Farmers Market sets up on Toledo Street in downtown Adrian, the Lenawee County seat in southeast Michigan's grain and produce belt. Lenawee remains one of the state's top agricultural-output counties, giving the market a deep pool of area growers to pull vendors from.

McLaughlin's Greenhouse & Market sits at 22867 Kellogg Road in Grand Rapids, along the Maumee River in Wood County. The greenhouse operation sells plants, flowers, herbs, and fresh produce through the growing season. Some directory listings flag it as closed, so it is worth confirming that it is still operating before making the drive out.

Monroe

Downtown Fremont Inc. has run the Fremont Farmers Market since 2001, gathering at 101 South Front Street in downtown Fremont, Sandusky County. Vendors sell fresh produce, baked goods, and handmade crafts on the first and third Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., through summer and into fall. The Bowling Green address on some listings is an extension office, not the market itself. Details post at downtownfremontohio.org.

Clinton

Clinton is a small Lenawee County village on the River Raisin, between Ann Arbor and Adrian. Its farmers market on Jackson Street has no current website confirming vendors or season.

Ypsilanti Township

Old City Acres started with a backyard and a shovel; it's now a working farm and food hub on Stony Creek Road growing more than 40 crops — kale, peppers, tomatoes, squash, apples, strawberries, blueberries, herbs, mushrooms — plus eggs, honey, maple syrup, and preserves, using no-till methods and integrated pest management. Owner Alex Ball built one of the only farms in the region individually accredited to accept SNAP, and runs a year-round CSA delivering across Ypsilanti, Belleville, Romulus, and Ann Arbor.

Saline

The Saline Farmers Market, run by the City of Saline, Michigan, operates Saturdays year-round: outdoors on S. Ann Arbor Street from May to early November, 8 a.m. to noon, then indoors at Liberty School through the winter. A weekly Friday newsletter shares market news, vendor profiles, and recipes.
