Get Ready, Get Set, Get Local!



The City of Kalamazoo’s Farmer’s Market will kick off another delicious season Saturday, May 3. The market features locally grown fresh produce, plants & flowers, meats, baked goods and hand-made crafts.

Located at 1204 Bank Street, between Lake Street and Stockbridge Avenue, the City of Kalamazoo’s Farmer’s market operates 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The market will open every Saturday until November 29.

According to the Michigan Farmer’s Market Association, everyone can benefit from a farmers market. Farmers benefit from the opportunity to develop local, loyal customers and maximize profits as they eliminate the “middle man.” Communities benefit as farmers markets support the local economy and the viability of area farmers. Finally, consumers can benefit from knowing the source of all the fresh, flavorful produce and goods made available at a farmers market.
