What Makes Us Special?
The Eastern Ingham Farmers Market is special space dedicated to creating connections between the farmers and artisans in your community and consumer access to having fresh local food on your table and handmade artisan products in your home.
Besides striving for high standards of quality, convenience, accessibility and diversity, the Market also aims to be a comfortable and welcoming destination that reflects and preserves the agrarian roots of the local communities we serve.
It is a place where adults and children alike can get to know who grows the plants and animals that become our food, and feel comfortable in asking questions of vendors they personally know and trust about how to select and prepare market produce and food products. It is also a place where both farmers and artisans can share their creativity in handcrafted products and beautiful seasonal plant, produce and floral arrangements.
