Plainfield Charter Township Farmers' Market runs three days a week — Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. — from spring through fall, more often than most Michigan township markets bother to open.

Cedar Springs

Solon Township's market runs Monday through Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., spring through fall, at Algoma Avenue and Wiersma Road near Cedar Springs.

Rockford Brewing Company has poured craft beer in downtown Rockford since 2011, founded by Jeff Sheehan and Seth Rivard along the Rogue River and the White Pine Trail. The kitchen leans farm-to-table with a Korean-inspired streak, and the brewery hosts live local music most weeks. It sits twenty minutes north of Grand Rapids — close enough for a weeknight dinner, far enough to feel like its own town.

Rockford

It's a straightforward small-town market, not a curated festival, which is part of its appeal for regulars.

The family-run business sits in Plainfield Township, just off the East Beltline.

The Plymouth Avenue address in Grand Rapids is program headquarters, not a public storefront — families and schools connect through the district, not a walk-up counter.

Coopersville

Joe Gavin Orchards grows sour cherries and pumpkins on 40th Avenue outside Coopersville. It's a smaller operation than the big u-pick destinations further north, built around two crops rather than a dozen, which keeps the harvest windows tight and the fruit fresh when it's in season.

Grand Rapids

When we decided to open a butcher shop, we thought a lot about how butcher shops were run and operated before the “industrial food revolution” after World War II, and took lessons from those who came before us. It made sense that with more and more people focusing on what they are eating, that we could go back to a simpler time when livestock was raised simply, locally, and sold purely. And so the focus became animals sourced from local farms that are naturally raising their animals, with no hor
