Ann Arbor Farmers Market

Ann Arbor Farmers Market brings more than a century of public market history into a producer-only lineup of Michigan vendors, tying the market’s long run to a clear focus on what growers and makers bring directly to the stalls. The market first opened in 1919, moved to its current site in 1931, and still operates under a roof structure completed in 1941 as a Works Progress Administration project. That history sits alongside a present-day vendor base that includes many third-, fourth-, and fifth-generation farm vendors and a market office that supports CSA information and market questions during the season.

What you'll find there

The market’s mix centers on direct-from-producer shopping, with Michigan farms and food businesses shaping what appears from week to week. The broadest throughline is seasonal food: fruit and vegetables, eggs, meat, poultry, fish, and pantry staples, with coffee, honey, flowers, and fiber goods also represented in the vendor roster.

• -Find roasted coffee from Roos Roast, a named vendor at the market.
• -Pick up farm goods from Shetler Family Farm, listed among current market vendors.
• -Look for products from Donahee Farms, another vendor on the market roster.
• -Shop honey from Hey Honey, listed as a market vendor.
• -Browse fiber-related goods from Vogue Booge, part of the market’s vendor list.

Beyond those named vendors, the market describes a producer-only roster of 125 vendors from Michigan. Shoppers can expect seasonal fruit and vegetables, eggs, pastured meat and poultry, Great Lakes fish, cheese, bread, honey, cut flowers, plants, coffee, and handcrafted items made with wool and fiber. The market also highlights Community Supported Agriculture subscriptions, describing CSAs as a subscription or membership to a farm, which can matter if you want to pair a market visit with a longer-term buying plan.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, a rule that can change plans before you leave home with a pet. Parking is free in the market lot during the Wednesday market, on Saturdays in winter, and as space is available on Saturdays year-round. If the lot is full, several public parking lots and garages are within walking distance. Cyclists have bike racks on Fourth Avenue, Fifth Avenue, and Detroit Street, plus a seasonal bike corral on Fifth Avenue in front of Sweetwaters Cafe in the Kerrytown Shops. Restrooms are available on site. For calls about a specific vendor or other market questions, the market office uses 734-794-6255.

The market accepts SNAP/EBT, and the market office trailer sells tokens for credit, debit, mobile pay, SNAP/EBT, and Double Up Food Bucks during market hours. Some individual vendors are listed as not accepting market tokens, including Roos Roast, Shetler Family Farm, Donahee Farms, Hey Honey, and Vogue Booge.
