Vendors sell produce, baked goods, honey, herbs, and artisan crafts among the district's boutiques, spring through fall.

Call 231-941-1961 for the current vendor list, since this Saturday market runs separately from the Commons' daily indoor shops.

Lively NeighborFood Market runs every day, year-round, out of 3805 West Empire Highway — a rarity for a Leelanau County market that most people expect to be seasonal. Locally grown produce, meats, dairy, flowers, baked goods, and prepared to-go meals fill the shelves, and the market takes SNAP/EBT and Double Up Food Bucks. Summer hours run 8am to 7pm; winter hours shift, so call ahead in the off-season. It's co-located with Backyard Burdickville Campground, a few minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes.

Interlochen

Zane Gray Farms raises beef, pork, chicken, and eggs on a Benzie County property in Interlochen, alongside cherries, apples, pears, and produce like arugula, basil, beets, broccoli, and microgreens. It's a working farm with a full pasture-to-plate lineup rather than a specialty operation — meat and orchard fruit under the same roof is unusual for a farm this size. Reach out ahead of a visit, since product availability shifts with the season.

Central Lake
