Flint Farmers Market

At 300 East First St in Flint, Flint Farmers Market brings together a year-round public market that dates to 1905 and includes 50-plus vendors under one roof. The mix is broader than a produce stop: permanent vendors include produce sellers, a meat market, poultry, breads and baked goods, cheese, a wine shop, an art gallery, a cafe, Middle Eastern and Mexican groceries, and gift-oriented stalls. From May through October, the outdoor area adds about 25 more vendors focused on produce, flowers, and arts and crafts, giving the market a larger footprint during the warmer months.

What you'll find there

The strongest draw here is the range packed into a single market visit: permanent indoor vendors cover fresh food staples, prepared-food stops, specialty groceries, and gift shopping, with seasonal outdoor sellers expanding the selection from May through October. That combination makes this market useful for a full grocery run as well as a shorter stop for a few specific items.

• -Shop Royalty Granola, a named market vendor mentioned in customer feedback.
• -Find produce from several produce vendors among the permanent year-round merchants.
• -Pick up cuts from a meat market and poultry from the market’s year-round vendor mix.
• -Look for breads and baked goods sold by permanent vendors.
• -Browse cheese alongside a wine shop within the indoor market lineup.
• -Explore Middle Eastern and Mexican groceries among the market’s specialty food options.
• -Add flowers and arts and crafts from about 25 additional outdoor vendors from May through October.

The market also books private events, including weddings, corporate gatherings, family reunions, and community events.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is one of the clearest planning details to know before heading over. The market has on-site parking, making it easier to pull in for a larger grocery trip or a quick stop during open days. Flint Farmers Market operates as a year-round public market, and its regular visitor schedule lists Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm. During the warmer season, May through October brings additional outdoor vendors, so the market layout and selection expand beyond the permanent indoor group. For vendors using the pavilion, the market’s seasonal setup includes covered 10-by-36-foot stall tables with electricity available.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP Bridge Card is accepted at Flint Farmers Market, and the market also notes Double Up Food Bucks, WIC, Project FRESH, Senior Project FRESH, and Head Start Coupons among the benefits that may be accepted by growers. Payment methods are presented clearly for visitors, which helps if SNAP access is part of the shopping plan.
