Local Farmers Markets are ready to Bloom

Written by 5 Healthy Towns Foundation staff

Farmers Market fans across the 5 Healthy Towns area are ready with anticipation for our local markets to bloom. Each of our five communities are home to at least one summer Farmers Market. All of these markets include fresh foods and opportunities for community members to come together.

Grass Lake’s Farmers Market has undergone some modifications from previous years. Last year the market happened every Wednesday from May through September, twice a month in concert with Music in the Park. This year, Grass Lake Farmers Market has changed its format, hosting a larger event once a month in May, June, July, August, and September. The change represents efforts to grow the market into a bigger community event featuring special events and activities.

“We are so excited to fill our town with music, vendors and activities on the second Wednesdays of those months. Our main stage for music will be hosted at our beautiful Whistlestop depot's gazebo downtown.

There will also be musical guests, throughout the day, next to Cattlemen's coffee shop and in our vendor areas,” explained Grass Lake Market board member Cindy Caro “Themed nights have been planned to include sports and games, enchanted forest, cosmic and a global celebration for the grand finale! Our events park will host the kids’ area with special guests including the Facepaint Faerie, a harpist and Native American dancers. We are looking forward to working with our local business community to help bring people to our amazing town for these events. Check out our new website at Grasslakemarket.com for more details on how to get involved."

The market will be located on Michigan Avenue throughout the downtown area. For market dates and times, follow Grass Lake Farmers Market on Facebook DEXTER FARMERS MARKET GRASS LAKE MARKET
