Smaller digs, but still the Market

It’s never easy to relocate a family picnic, especially when you’re talking a couple of thousand folks. But that’s what the Farmers Market did July 18.

With Farmington’s Founders Festival occupying the downtown, the Market packed up and skedaddled over to the high school parking lot. And almost 2,000 shoppers followed – not bad for a temporary relocation. Also, parking in the school lot was a breeze! (Above photo shows the layout early Saturday before the Market officially opened.)

This Saturday we’ll be back in our regular digs at downtown’s Riley Park. And wait till you see the farmers’ tables overflowing with summer’s bounty! A sweet sight indeed.

See you there!

We are an award-winning market and a trusted source of healthy, local and sustainable produce. We offer a vibrant marketplace with music and special programs that create a nourishing community connection. We are open rain or shine or snow from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays through November 2, at the Sundquist Pavilion at 33113 Grand River Ave. in downtown Farmington.
