Farmers Markets near Ypsilanti, MI

Ypsilanti

Growing Hope has run food-system programs out of West Michigan Avenue since 2003, starting with school gardens and growing into a 1.4-acre urban farm, a food-business incubator kitchen, and the Ypsilanti Farmers Market. That market sets up downtown at 16 South Washington Street on Saturdays, 9am to 1pm, May through October, with produce and prepared foods from area vendors. The Michigan Avenue address is Growing Hope's farm and administrative home, not the market itself — worth knowing before driving over expecting stalls.

Ypsilanti

West Willow Farmers Market keeps an unusually long week for a Michigan market — Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays until 1 p.m., spring through fall, at 2057 Tyler Road in Ypsilanti. It sells produce, baked goods, flowers, and artisan goods, and doubles SNAP dollars through the Double Up Food Bucks program.

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.

Ann Arbor

This market takes its name from Cobblestone Farm, a historic 1840s farmstead preserved as a city park on Packard Street in Ann Arbor. No current website was found confirming whether the market is still active or listing its present vendors and hours.

Jewett Street Farmers' Market runs indoors on Saturdays, 7am to 3pm, spring through fall, at 1289 Jewett Street in Ann Arbor. Vendors sell produce, baked goods, flowers, handmade crafts, and prepared street food. It's one of eight USDA-listed farmers markets in Ann Arbor, so it competes for vendors and shoppers with markets across town rather than standing alone.

Canton

Canton Farmers Market runs seasonally at Preservation Park in Canton Township, Wayne County, with its regular season opening in May. Canton Township's own site lists the market among current community news but doesn't publish a standing vendor list or weekly hours.

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.

Belleville

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.

Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor's Westside Farmers Market runs Thursdays, 3 to 7 p.m., spring through fall, at 2501 Jackson Avenue — flatter and easier to park at than the city's downtown Wednesday market. Vendors cover the full range: produce, meat and seafood, dairy and eggs, baked goods, honey, plants, and prepared foods. SNAP and WIC accepted.

Ann Arbor

Plymouth

Plymouth Farmers Market sets up Saturday mornings, May through October, at The Gathering across from Kellogg Park in downtown Plymouth.

Covered parking at The Gathering makes it an easy stop before the shops open.

Dexter

Webster Farmers Market meets twice a week at 5501 Webster Church Road outside Dexter — Tuesdays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., spring through fall. Vendors bring produce, baked goods, coffee, flowers, and prepared foods, and the market accepts SNAP and WIC.

Westland

Vendors sell produce, baked goods, artisan goods, and prepared foods, and the market accepts SNAP and WIC — closer to a weekly block party than a bare-bones produce stand.

Wayne

Wayne Farmers' Market runs spring through fall at 3355 S. Wayne Rd., with produce, baked goods, artisan crafts, and prepared foods set up in an outdoor park-style lot. It's inexpensive by design and takes SNAP and WIC — built for weekly grocery runs rather than a tourist stop.

Wayne

Wayne Open-Air Market runs spring through fall at 3144 South Wayne Road, a short drive from the separate Wayne Farmers' Market on the same road. It's an outdoor, park-style setup selling produce and artisan goods and accepts SNAP and WIC — the kind of second, smaller market a town runs when one lot isn't enough.

Northville

The Northville Farmers Market runs Thursdays 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., May through October, at 550 W. Seven Mile Road, featuring fresh seasonal offerings from Michigan growers and artisans — flowers, produce, honey, plants, handcrafted goods, and baked treats — with food trucks, live music, and a weekly Community Connections nonprofit booth. The Chamber also hosts an annual Memorial Day weekend Flower Sale and a Holiday Greens Market.

Dexter

Washtenaw Meats brings Southeast Michigan livestock farmers together under one label, sharing processing and marketing so small producers can compete on the same shelf as bigger operations. The lineup covers pasture-raised beef, pork, lamb, goat, chicken, and turkey, raised on rotational grazing rather than feedlots. There's no farm store at the location itself — their meat sells through partner outlets including Argus Farm Stop, Marrow Butcher Shop, and the Washtenaw Food Hub.

Westland

Novi's Thursday market runs 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Main Street from spring through fall, pairing fresh produce, plants, and baked goods with the international street-fair element that gives the market its full name.

The venue holds a 4.6-star rating from residents who've stopped by for markets, shows, or both.

Manchester

Acorn Farmers Market and Cafe operates from a storefront on West Main Street in downtown Manchester, a Washtenaw County village in southeast Michigan. The combined market-and-cafe format is uncommon among the state's small-town markets, most of which run as outdoor seasonal stands rather than year-round retail space.

Huron Valley Recreation & Community Education organizes the market, drawing shoppers from Milford, White Lake, and Hartland for produce and locally made goods.

behind Frosty Boy Blissfield

Gibraltar Farmers Market runs seasonally out of an old pavilion at 29340 South Gibraltar Road, a spot locals still associate with the former Bob Logan Island park land. Vendors bring produce, baked goods, cut flowers, honey, and potted herbs. It's a small, community-run market rather than a produce wholesaler.

Lincoln Park

Lincoln Park Farmers Market is a seasonal market focusing on locally grown fruits and vegetables, locally made specialty foods as well as and locally made arts and crafts. Our mission is, “To educate the community about healthy, locally grown food, and promoting good health.” Our objective is Michigan grown/Michigan made by the farmer, vendor, and crafter. With the emphasis on organic foods, the advantage of a local farmer market is that one can talk to the farmer who raised the foods that they are to take home and eat.

Melvindale's Downtown Development Authority runs this Wednesday market at Cardinal Park on Oakwood Boulevard, open 3 to 7 p.m. from June through September. Vendors sell fresh vegetables and fruit, eggs, milk, pasture-raised meat, baked goods, and artisan crafts to a Detroit-suburb crowd without many other direct-from-grower options nearby.

Garden Taste Fest and Market Place is an indoor grocery-style market at 19308 Whitcomb on Detroit's west side, open seven days a week from early morning to evening.
