New Baltimore Farmers Market

New Baltimore Farmers Market ties its mission to partnerships and volunteers from the Macomb / St. Clair County areas while focusing on local foods, farmers, artisans, and access to fresh food for all consumers. In Historic Downtown New Baltimore, the market runs on Washington Street between Main and Front Streets and within Walter & Mary Burke Park, giving it a compact downtown footprint rather than a parking-lot setup. The market also keeps an interactive map that lets shoppers click vendor locations for product descriptions, business names, images, and contact information, which is especially useful if you like to plan a stop before you arrive.

Why it matters locally

The market operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a stated purpose of linking shoppers to local foods, farmers, and artisans while supporting access to fresh foods for all consumers. Its mission also includes educating and encouraging the health and economic benefits of local foods, entrepreneurship, and related activities, which gives the market a broader role than simple weekly shopping.

New Baltimore Farmers Market says it relies on relationships with local groups, city departments, officials, and employees, while also noting that it is not part of the City of New Baltimore, the Anchor Bay Chamber of Commerce, the New Baltimore Business Alliance, or the New Baltimore DDA. That distinction matters because it presents the market as an independent organization working alongside nearby institutions rather than as a city department. The market’s philosophy also says it supports local farmers and producers and is not a grower-only market, which points to a wider mix of local agricultural and produced goods under one banner.

Know before you go

Parking rules around the market are strict: participants may not park on Main Street, Washington, Front Street, or in streets and parking lots within a one-block square around the market area. Limited parking is available behind Huntington Bank down the alley behind the purple building and on side streets outside that one-block area. The NB Civic Club private lot is off-limits for market parking. If you use a handicap placard, one vehicle per market space may park within the one-block square after approval and direction at check-in.

The market is set on Washington Street between Main and Front in Historic Downtown and within Walter & Mary Burke Park, so walking the market means using downtown streets and park space together. Restrooms are in the park pavilion at Washington and Front, identified by the white cupola on top, and downtown businesses are not the restroom option for market visitors. Dogs are not allowed.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at New Baltimore Farmers Market, and the market says it is proud to participate in the Double Up Food Bucks Program. The market’s SNAP page specifically describes using Bridge Cards at the market to buy food, giving shoppers a clear path for using benefits on site.
