Northern Michigan Farmers Markets
With spring finally here and summer on the horizon, farmers markets across Northern Michigan will soon be moving outside. Farmer markets are a fabulous way to get fresh fruits and vegetables and interact with community members. During the winter months, the Petoskey Farmers market is held at the Crooked Tree Arts Center in the old Petoskey Public Library building. Once the weather warms up the market grows and farmers from every corner of Northern Michigan participate. And, it’s not just farmers, you can find vendors selling organic honey, fresh baked goods and more!
I’ve put together a list of local Northern Michigan Farmers Markets for the 2018 summer season. So, grab your re-useable totes and get ready to grab the freshest produce our local farmers have to offer!
