Traverse City

This market sets up inside the historic Village at Grand Traverse Commons — the restored 1800s state hospital campus turned shops-and-restaurants district on Cottageview Drive. Vendors sell produce, baked goods, honey, herbs, and artisan crafts among the district's boutiques, spring through fall. Call 231-941-1961 or check thevillagetc.com for the market's current days and hours, which flex around the district's retail schedule.

Traverse City

On Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., vendors set up outdoors on The Piazza — the green space at the Village at Grand Traverse Commons — for this seasonal market. Tables carry fresh produce, plants, flowers, baked goods, and artisan items from spring through fall. Call 231-941-1961 for the current vendor list, since this Saturday market runs separately from the Commons' daily indoor shops.

Traverse City

MI Farm Co-op is a farmer-owned cooperative out of Aero Park Drive in Traverse City, pooling harvests from small farms across Grand Traverse, Leelanau, and Benzie counties into one order. Its multi-farm CSA runs all four seasons — a full share includes a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, salad greens, microgreens, and whatever fruits and vegetables are in season, alongside options for beef, chicken, pork, cheese, and maple syrup. Boxes are available for pickup, delivery, or through partner retailers around the region.

Traverse City

Anavery Fine Foods is a farmers-market vendor based on Secor Road outside Traverse City, in Grand Traverse County — Michigan's self-declared cherry capital. No product list or contact details are public yet.

Empire

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.

Glen Arbor

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.

Kingsley

Kingsley Farmers Market sets up Wednesdays, 3 to 7pm, June through October, at 205 South Brownson Avenue in this small Grand Traverse County village. It's a modest, one-day-a-week market serving Kingsley and nearby Fife Lake and Grawn rather than drawing regional crowds.

Empire

Empire

Leelanau Farmers' Market in Empire runs Saturdays, 9am to 1pm, June through late August, at 10234 W. Front Street next to the post office. It's the Empire outpost of the five-market Leelanau Farmers Markets network, distinct from the Sunday market the same nonprofit runs in Lake Leelanau.

Bellaire

Bellaire Winter Farmers Market moves indoors on North Bridge Street, a few blocks from the town's summer market on Maple Street. Winter markets like this one are how small Northern Michigan towns keep producers selling — baked goods, preserves, stored root crops — after the outdoor growing season ends.

Bellaire

Bellaire Farmers Market runs on Maple Street in downtown Bellaire, the Antrim County seat in Michigan's Chain of Lakes region near Torch Lake. Like most markets this far north, it works a summer-only schedule matched to the region's short growing season.

Bellaire

Torch Lake Co-op is a farmer-owned online grocery serving Bellaire, Elk Rapids, Alden, Rapid City, East Jordan, Central Lake, Williamsburg, and Traverse City, with delivery twice a week year-round or free pickup. Produce, beef, pork, dairy, prepared foods, honey, maple syrup, jams, and nursery plants come straight from member farms and area kitchens. The co-op accepts SNAP/EBT, WIC, and Senior Project FRESH, which puts it ahead of most online farm stores on food-access options.

Mancelona

Mancelona Farmers Market runs Thursdays, 3 to 7pm, May through October, at 121 East State Street in this small Antrim County town. It accepts SNAP, Senior Project FRESH, and Double Up Food Bucks, stretching grocery budgets in an area where the nearest big supermarket is a drive away.
