Now this may just be our favorite Farmer's Market of the recent past. Opened every Saturday rain or shine or snow, this Market was packed ... with people and produce. We loved all the activity and action ... not the least of which was the variety of produce. Many Farmer's Market's fall into the trap of selling tons of merchandise that isn't related to farmers ... such as candles, cute wooden signs, cheap jewelry, and other such tchotchkes. This one didn't ... it had a focus on fresh fruits and vegetables. As you might imagine, a Farmer's Market in a mostly residential area brings parking problems ... but don't give up. Wonderful people, great selection, nice prices. Next time we're in Ann Arbor on a Saturday, we'll be sure to stop. read more

This farmers market isn't very large, so there aren't a ton of vendors, but I was pleasantly surprised by the selection of local honey and coffee. If you're a fan of trying different kinds of honey or picking up freshly roasted coffee, you'll definitely find some great options here. Even though it's on the smaller side, it's worth stopping by if you're in the area and want to support local businesses. read more

Smaller market that offers many things. Would like to see a wider variety of different booths. The off theme booths seem to come and go and aren't in as consistent rotation as the fruit, veggie and flower booths. Larger markets have some of the cooler mainstream things, i.e. that you see on TikTok etc aren't really found here. Cute smaller market and everyone is pleasant for the most part. read more

The Ann Arbor Farmers Market is solid overall, with a few caveats that come with the territory. Parking isn't great, but honestly, if you're expecting amazing parking in Ann Arbor, that's on you. It's part of the experience. Come prepared to walk a bit and you'll be fine. The vendors clearly put in a lot of effort. You can tell there's pride in what they're offering, and the market itself has a good atmosphere. That said, I didn't really find anything I needed or couldn't live without this visit. The items were fine, just not quite what I was hoping for. I do wish the vendors could get a little more bang for their buck, whether that's higher traffic, better layout, or stronger buyer energy. The effort is there, and it deserves to be rewarded. All in all, it's a nice stop, worth checking out, and still a good market even if it wasn't a standout haul for me this time. Four stars. read more

Truly a great farmers market, even into the fall when it's getting chilly. The array of vendors sell just about anything, and we picked up some great pastries, cider, apples, cheese, jam, and even an excellent pot pie and summer sausage. Check it out on Wednesdays & Saturdays for some great fruits, veggies, meat, bread, pastries, prepared food, or just about anything you might need. read more

So good to be back in the midwest, Indiana native who lives in Tennessee, we are considering moving here and loved our visit to Ann Arbor. The Farmer's Market really gave a sense of the community and culture here, we adored all of our interactions and felt very welcomed. read more

Follow or check out @a2market (Instagram) for the latest updates on what's going on at the market! I definitely have a soft spot for the Ann Arbor Farmers Market, as I've been going here for years and years. Located in charming Kerrytown, you can easily bundle farmer's market shopping with strolling through Kerrytown shops, downtown shops, and/or grabbing a tasty meal while you're out too. Saturday mornings through early afternoon year-round, and Wednesdays May-Dec. I will say that this year it seems like Wednesday market is much more sparse in terms of vendors and offerings than it used to be, but still a nice option for a less busy day. Artisan market on Sundays, and occasional events throughout the year as well - like the Christmas market each December (one evening only). Parking can be a little hectic - have to be kind of lucky to get a market lot spot or one of the spots on Detroit St (paid), but there are other street parking options and nearby lots and garages. I used to like going Wednesdays before 8am, because I could always get a spot on Detroit St and it was free before then. read more

This is a really lovely Farmers' Market, albeit a bit small, that draws a nice crowd on weekend mornings. The assortment of businesses varies fairly considerably but it's mostly produce as far as I've seen. There's a lot of repetition and it can be a bit frustrating in terms of weighing prices/quality at the different vendors when there are, say, 10 booths selling tomatoes. On the weekends where there are more prepared goods (eg hot sauces, fresh food, baked goods, etc) I would love if more places offered samples. I am more than willing to shell out $$ for quality, locally-made things, but I don't want to buy a $9 bottle of hot sauce that I don't like. Even for the produce stalls - they could easily cut up some fruits/veggies and have toothpicks and I'd honestly probably be 10x more likely to buy something if I can try it first. Maybe I got spoiled in my previous community (Primrose Hill in London) but the Farmers' Market there had samples at every single booth and while it was bad for my wallet, it was just such a nicer experience. read more

Walked through the farmers market on a Saturday morning , which wasn't as busy as I expected. There we so many different produce stands as well as other stands. There were stands selling pre-made meals, fresh meat, eggs, honey, olive oils, pastries, coffee, flowers, cooking tools, etc. the best part is that there's a building with other wonderful offerings including a wine shop, pizza shop and seafood counter. read more

Ann Arbor Farmers Market - Variety of chilies - Farmers Market Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Imagine being a student at Michigan for four years, but rarely ever going to the AA Farmers Market, opting instead to go to Eastern Market, for some odd reason, and now that I'm an adult and live an hour away, I want to go all the time haha. Don't be me! Whether you're a student or just are lucky enough to have AA Farmers Market be the closest farmers market to you, DEFINITELY take advantage of it! You're missing out if you don't! The layout to this farmers market is a bit odd, it almost feels a bit like an octopus. There is one main stretch, with about 4 side stretches coming off of it. It's configured in a way where you can navigate it relatively smoothly, but can get a bit confusing! My pro tip is to always do a lap throughout the entire market first to scope out what vendors are here and selling what produce at what prices before you start buying since chances are there will be multiple vendors selling things that are on your shopping list! What I love specifically about AA Farmers Market is that they are year round. Obviously, in the winter, they will have less of a selection and less vendors in general, but it's still nice that there is this option available to you year round. I also love that they have such a variety of not just produce, but artisan items, plants, etc. for you to check out as well. One of my favorite vendors that is a regular at the AA Farmers Market is the Gracias Greenhouse. If you're a houseplant junkie like me, they have gorgeous stock of a large variety of unique plants every week and their prices are WONDERFUL! I love getting quality plants at such low low prices from them! The one downside for someone who lives far and has to drive in? Finding parking is a nightmare! But thankfully, because I do live far away, whenever I come to AA I want to do 20 things in addition to checking out the farmers market, so I don't mind parking more centrally to the other things I want to checkout, perhaps closer to downtown, and walking over to the farmers market. But that's typically the only way I'll find parking, unless I go closer to closing at 3 pm when plenty more spots will be available. But also, by then the vendors are almost all sold-out and/or already packing up! Also, it's important to note that AA Farmers Market sadly isn't dog friendly. read more

COVID-Era safety measures: one way arrows and lines with marked X for market traffic and social distancing. Hand sanitizing and washing stations around market. Most vendors and employees wore masks, but not all wore them properly or the entire time. Most guests wore masks, but same as above, not all properly or all the time. On the July 4th Saturday, the market was easy to navigate with not too many guests. Veggies looked great, farm fresh cheeses, the pierogie guy, the sausage guy, some bakery items, some craft and home items. I went home with kettle corn, pie bites, and an apple batter donut. You can see where my market priorities are! Oh yeah- we had an electric vehicle and parked it in the Catherine St Lot- which also happened to be free parking on Holidays and Sundays. read more

Still an amazing market, particularly in the late summer // early fall when all of my favorite veggies are in season. Tomatoes! Corn! Squash! It's the best time of the year for eats! And the COVID precautions are particularly fantastic. Tons of hand sanitizing options, one way designations to ensure distancing (can we please keep this after the pandemic? It's so smooth!) and pre-ordering with vendors so you can do a quick pick up to reduce exposure time. This is particularly clutch for those who are in risk groups and want to get in and out. Curbside pick up is also available for many vendors but all require prepayment (You can see the list of the vendors and contact them to order here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gmPMf78_G-JkNHIUBw1n04N1iitmtUlqhO6OgH3oyjk/edit?usp=sharing). Thanks for putting such care into your processes to keep us all safe, AAFM! read more

Open on Weds. and Sat. This market is adjacent to eateries and Kerrytown shopping center, so it makes for a great outing shopping combination. It captures the tenor if its inhabitants with hippyish healthy looking shoppers running around in their tights. read more

Love coming here every year! All the vendors are super sweet, and everything is so cool here

Loved this market. Lots of veggies and fruits to choose from, supporting small businesses and local farming. The candle booth was my favorite, they will refill your previously purchased glass candle at half price (I don't need more candles, but... I want them) Apple pie bites were delicious as well, nice to have a snack while deciding where to go for lunch. One way aisles during Covid-19, but it's not obnoxiously long, and I had a better idea of my choices. read more

I absolutely love this farmers market! Probably one of the best in the area. It is no where near the size if eastern market in downtown detroit.. but definitely has all the essentials with the quality! Honey, baklava, flowers, herbs, cheese,meat,candles! U name it they got it! I definitely enjoyed the fresh strawberry's this week!!! We usually go every to every other Saturday morning to stock up on veggies for the week. read more

There are few more enjoyable ways to spend a Saturday morning than going to the Farmers Market, and the Ann Arbor one doesn't disappoint. Located in the Kerrytown neighborhood, the rows of vendors bring a little bit of everything no matter what you're looking for. From farm-fresh eggs and vegetables to handmade soaps, pastries, cheeses, and even guacamole, it's a great way to support some members of the community and fill your pantry at the same time. One of my favorite things is the goat's milk lotion. Sold in sizes small enough to stash into your purse, it absorbs quickly and grraselessly and is unscentes if you buy the plain variety. I also found myself devouring an entire tub of Jalapeño guacamole that I bought recently -- it might have lasted 24 hours, but I can't guarantee that it did. On a lazy Saturday morning, meander on over to the Ann Arbor farmers market and find your own new favorite things! read more

Vendor-- "Hey Honey" This is the best honey I have ever tasted!!! Jay is awesome, professional, knowledgeable, and an all-around likable guy. Why do I mention that? Because when someone's product is good, that's great, but when they are people like you and me, who own the business, that's even better. [I used to work at a bank too ]. Jay has different product sizes, honey sticks, teddy bears container thingies, and various jars. My favorite flavors thus far: ginger, and recently, peach amaretto (I bought it for my daughter today). The prices are reasonable and you can taste anything before you buy it. Check him out. You won't be disappointed!!! read more

This was a nice farm market very small interesting assortment of flowers/ veggies/ jams/ honey / breads and pastries/ homemade crafts / did i mention it was small ... walking distance to other shops and places to eat in Ann Arbor this farm market was a been there done that experience for me read more

Arrived here on a Saturday past lunch time. Still I see a number of people and looking around like us. There are vendors selling diy crafts, honey wax candles, fresh vegetables, brewed coffee and bake sale. The market is like the mini version of Eastern Market of Detroit. Was hoping that there will be an end of day sale since some vendors are going home early. Anyways, it was a nice experience to visit while in Ann Arbor. Parking is available on the side street. Limit of two hours. Bring your quarters, cash bills, or credit card is accepted. Good luck finding a good spot ;-) read more

There is free parking at the Ann and Ashley Parking Garage on Saturday until 4 PM! The person working the booth at the exit of the parking garage actually recommends trying to exit at 3 PM so as to avoid getting charged with the $1.20 hourly rate by 4 PM. No validation needed so even if you don't need to go to the Farmers Market, you can explore the other restaurants and shops nearby for free. I'll only buy my produce here now since it's walking distance from where I live and I find it cheaper, healthier, and more supportive of local farmers and businesses than buying my produce at the store. They have more than produce, too: baked goods, succulents, herbs, flowers, small gifts, ice cream, coffee-and that's only one Saturday. I can't wait to check out how the products change throughout the year. read more

Ann Arbor Farmers Market - This is so Groot! - Farmers Market Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

A great farmers market - lots of produce, florals and locally made art / items to choose from. Be aware though that it's service animal ONLY. We should've checked beforehand but walked down worth our dog and did a lap around the perimeter since we couldn't go inside. Bummer but definitely understandable as it is a tighter space full of so many booths. We'll be back (sans dog) read more

What really made me choose UofM was the diverse settings it had. One of my favorite places to visit is the Farmer's Market. It is at Kerrytown and that is where all the nice restaurants are at. More like bring your parents to the restaurants but the farmers market is such a nice walk because there is a trial. It is far from campus(= from where most students are) but what is really nice is that farmer's market have events at the diag to really reach out to the students. There are many times where they had events to promote fresh produce and how to make better choices with food and how we treat our environment. I plan to go to the farmer's market and have a day to just really explore and buy my groceries. Yes so PLEASE go when you go to ANN ARBOR. Not a lot of people realize this is here...I would consider this as a hidden gem. read more

Wonderful! The colors! The variety! The freshness! This place makes you want to go home and whip up a delicious vegetable medley dish and dig in! There are sweets on the menu, too, including apple ciders, donuts, pastries, as well as some proteins (meats) for sale. Looking forward to trying the hot sauce I purchased. We saw fresh brigth red North Carolina Reaper Peppers and imagined what one of them would do to my wife's homemade chili --- but, hey, we're not that brave! They don't take credit cards (mostly), so bring cash or buy (with a credit card) tokens at the information booth which can be used with the vendors. Parking is a bit pricey --- I am used to parking free in Northville --- but it was well worth the visit. read more

I love the farmer's market, and each day has different vendors, so it is always a fun surprise of what you'll find. Probably my favorite vendor is Nightingale Fortunes which sells gourmet fortune cookies. The fortunes have art on one side and an inspirational phrase on the other side. The chocolate-dipped espresso is amazing! There is also a vendor who embroiders linens, sometimes even printing photos on the linens and then embroidering them - it is beautiful art. There are pottery, clay jewelry, glassware, lotion, soap, and candle makers, as well as delicious baked goods, fruits, vegetables, and beautiful flowers. The flower festival is vibrant with color and beautiful smells. This is the perfect outing for a relaxing weekend! read more

I always loved farmer's markets having grown up in the bay area of California where we were spoiled with them. Location is great. It's close to Zingerman's, Sparrow's market, etc. It's tough to park in this part of town. Fresh produce, local folks. The herbs look very nice, if you'd like to plant your own herbs. The breads/pastries/cookies are really expensive. They are cheaper if you go to a gourmet store to buy them. read more

This Farmer's market is a 100 years old, and for good reason. All stalls here are run by producers not resellers, which also makes the goods more environmentally friendly as they travel less of a distance to get to you. It's the liveliest place in summer, when there are the most stalls and produce. What some may not know is that it runs year round, though cutting down to running only on Saturdays and not Wednesdays in the colder seasons. While there'd be less variety of produce in colder months, you'd look for different goods in the cold months such as Christmas gifts and wreaths. Its seasonality is part of its appeal. Crowds do vary based on what time you go: the rare, sly early birds traipse in early to make their picks of all the produce, while those who sleep in on the weekends or wait for lunchtime bustle in in huger hordes later. Definitely try to carry cash when you come by as some stalls only accept cash. If you're out of cash, you could use your credit card to purchase Farmer's Market wooden tokens at the office instead to hand to the vendors (though at least one has rejected them from me!). Prices can vary for similar items (and some stores may be certified organic while others are not), so take your time to look around the different stores. read more

First of all: organic farmers are so cool. I mean, they're cool because they grow things without pesticides and help save the earth and our general health and well-being, but they're also just so *cool*. Like, girl with shaved zig-zags in her hair and nose rings cool. Who knew digging in the dirt could be so hip? Makes me love buying my produce here even more. For a small town, this farmers market is pretty rad. There is a lot of variety, tons of growers, flowers, honey, lovely-smelling soaps, and handmade coolness. And everything is pretty inexpensive. I got 4 huge squashes last weekend for 2 bucks. $2! Even if you don't buy anything, browsing around the stalls here is a feast for the eyes, there is just natural beauty everywhere. Entertainment and nourishment = yay! read more

It had been a long time since I'd been here but I love it! There are a ton of vendors and a wide range of goods. Fresh apples and a big bag of mixed spicy peppers is what I left with but there was much more to choose from. Everyone I talked with was friendly and the prices were reasonable. This area is very busy and the parking situation is horrible. Bring your own bags! read more

One of the best farmer's markets.... I have been to farmer's markets in many cities in the US and around the world and I still find the Ann Arbor farmer's market to be one of the best. This market is open until December and is a great spot to send your Saturday morning (and Wednesdays...). There are all sorts of interesting foods, vegetables, crafts, jewelry and floral items. I personally love the jelly and preserves and in the winter, I always have to stop for my little Christmas trees. Every stall is staffed with friendly people who are more than willing to help out, answer questions about the items they are selling, and just chat. It is a very social spot, and you'll definitely leave with some great items. Definitely a must stop!! p.s. thanks to the nice guy that added extra baby's breath to my little christmas tree....it was quite nice of you! read more

This place was crazy busy over Memorial Day weekend. Elbow to elbow that was a bit disconcerting to us. And some of the merchants had sold out of things we wanted. But we did get bags and bags of things for our BBQ that evening, brats and ribs and veggies. Just no ice cream or sorbet flavors left to rejuvenate us on a hot day. read more

The farmer's market is a nice little gem that every city and/or town needs. It provides fresh produce with a friendly smile. I never thought that food at a farmer's market could be better than the groceries bought at Kroger or Meijer. Then again, this is the first farmer's market I've ever been to. I love how cheap everything is too. You can't beat the prices here. Asparagus for a dollar, snow cones for a dollar, huge water melons for 2 bucks; simply wonderful. Taking your girlfriend or boyfriend there isn't a bad idea either. It's a nice experience because the people are warm, you get to sample good food, and the aesthetics (all the different food) are a sight for sore eyes. A sample of hot apple cider on a cold Ann Arbor day sure hits the spot. Whether you're just going there to look around, or you actually want to purchase something, the farmer's market provides the nice people of Ann Arbor a hearty landmark fit for those who want to get their inner agriculturalist on. read more

Ann Arbor Farmers Market is the cream of the crop when it comes to the number of farmers markets throughout Michigan. The layout, variety of vendors and quality of merchandise are second to none. I like to judge the farmers markets by the diverse amount of products I walk away with. My last haul included watermelon radishes from an Asian farmer, dinosaur kale, purple cauliflower and green cabbage from a second generation farmer, eggs from an Amish farm, radishes, poblano peppers, and Yukon gold potatoes from a family farm down the street. read more

Ann Arbor Farmers Market - Even in the fall the harvest includes bounties of wonderfully large tasty vegetables! - Farmers Market Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Great fresh produce! The cherry tomatoes is #amazing. It bursts with sweetness in my mouth. And the basil pesto from pure harvest is replacing the cheese in my wrap. I'm not sure it'll last the next few hours without being inhaled. read more

A little bit of everything fresh...peaches, blueberries, raspberries, cherry donuts, apple cider, basil plants & that is just what we bought! Sipped a cold brew from a vendor and found so many great things. I was sold on coming just for the pierogi. Yes, took those home, too. Very sweet merchants. read more

This is a nice farmer's market in a busy part of Ann Arbor (read: hard to find parking). The stalls are covered so it's good to visit even when it's raining. There are more non-food vendors (e.g. candles, jewelry, clothing) than I care for. read more

Tomatoes. Peaches. Fresh cilantro, basil, oregano, mint. Organic produce. Hand-made maple sugar candy with the most intense maple flavor in the world. Cabbage. Broccoli or corn picked less than 24 hours ago. More kinds of hot and sweet peppers than you ever heard of. Raspberries, blueberries, huckleberries, plums -- sweet. Honey. Home-made preserves, bread, or pie. All produce is delivered and sold by the farmers who grew the fruit or vegetables or raised the bees or tapped the maple trees, etc. They back their trucks up to the open air stands, set up their tables, and sell. They had heirloom apples and peaches before the term was coined -- that is, they never stopped growing them. Wednesdays and Saturdays in the growing season. It's worth the search for a parking space. If you buy in bulk, you save money too. The site is used for a variety of other events too -- mainly good ones like craft fairs and the book festival. 2007 Update. I checked on the meat and egg situation: several sellers now have these products in compliance with all regulations. I talked to a farmer who raises sheep near Stockbridge and has an arrangement with a slaughter house a few hours from her farm, which she says is clean and meets *her* standards, not just USDA. read more

I feel very fortunate to have such a great market within walking distance. If you're headed here by car, it's best to arrive earlier in the morning, and it's also best to try to park a little ways away -- over down the more residential streets in Kerrytown. Starter plants, breads, honey, jams, organic meats, beeswax products, cheeses, tamales and all sorts of other goods augment the fresh produce that you'd most expect to find. And find it you will! Now that we're in the midst of summer, you can bring a 20 dollar bill and head home with a huge amount of berries, beans and lettuce -- enough to use yourself and still some left to make dishes to share with friends! If you're arriving later in the afternoon, you may not get the best selection, but sometimes you can get a bit of a wiggle on prices. As with most farmers markets, it gets hectic, but people are generally polite. My one caution? Watch out for the GIANT strollers. The curmudgeon in me thinks that if they are going to forbid dogs, they should also put the smackdown on strollers the size of vans. The kids *in* the strollers are cute, but be careful of your ankles when some folks use their wheels as battering rams. Other than that, bring plenty of canvas bags and a little dough and enjoy! read more
