Williamsburg

Tour buses are welcome, a sign of how long this stop has been on the map.

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.

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.

Buckley

Pahl's Pumpkin Patch, part of Pahl's Country Store on M-37 in Buckley, pairs u-pick pumpkins with a corn maze, yard games, and farm animals each fall.

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.
