I'm not a gardener, at all, however, I came with two very experienced gardeners as they make their seasonal trip. Everything is labeled nicely although I do think the signs could be bigger. There's also arrows on the ground to help direct traffic in the greenhouses but they're easily missed. I will say after having been on a Tuesday, an hour after opening, the parking situation could be better, a lot better. It's tight because the place is so popular. We were almost hit trying to park. Staff is very knowledgeable. read more

Always friendly customers service and yummy fruit and vegetables. Really good prices and the produce doesn't go bad fast like other places do. Love the deals the have through out the time they are open as well. read more

Fruits and vegetables are always good. As long as I can remember my mom always came to Block's for veggies and fruit. I continued the tradition with my family. read more

Summer months, fresh produce at great prices. The corn is the besttttt. Sweet and delicious corn. Try it out... read more

I go to purchase my plants first. What a marvelous selection and always at a great price. When the farm market opens in July I go for the excellent vegetables and fruits. I like to buy a case of roma tomatoes to make sauce for the year. They also carry the nice large zucchini's that you can fill, top with cheese and bake for a crowd. I always purchase a shopping cart full and then can or freeze the items as the quality and prices can't be beat. read more

What an amazing place to shop! They have all kinds of fruits, veggies, flowers, breads, canned items, Better Made items, candies, apple cider, and more. The prices and quality are amazing, and we will definitely shop there again! read more

Block's Stand & Greenhouse - A really beautiful flower we purchased from Block's. - Farmers Market Near Me - Romulus, Michigan

You will find some of the best deals on a wide variety of plants for your home garden. There are so many plants that you can spend hours browsing and choosing the right perennials and annuals for your home. Block's also sells vegetables, locally made dairy products, and baked goods. It gets so crowded that it can be hard to find a place to park. I recommend coming on a weekday if you can to avoid even more crowds on the weekend. read more

If you're planning to save more dollar bills and fill up your front or back yard with plants and bushes, Block's the perfect greenhouse to get the items you need. They have lots of annuals, perennials, bushes, trees and herbs. There's plastic pots, trellis, liners, fertilizers, mulches and bonfire wood. I remember seeing hydrangeas, hibiscus, lilies, roses and many other plants and flowers the same variety as when we went to eastern market, Bordine's and English Garden but in a much lower price. Just remember to know the prices of the ones you pick because the people who work in the checkout counter might ring you up a different price. Patience is a must and good maneuver in pulling the carts in and out of the crowd. Too bad there is no cafe for you to get drinks after an exhausting walking and lifting the plants. Traffic can be a challenge. So don't bring your fancy vehicles just to be dented. Super busy today a Saturday. We came lunchtime. Open from 9am-6pm daily. read more

Great vegetables Fresh vegetables workers are polite and helpful.great canning classes. read more

Every year its like waiting for Santa Claus I can NOT wait to come from Ypsilanti to Blocks to get my Beautiful flowers and decorate my outside of my house. I use to go to Eastern Market ( Still do but not for my flowers For my Arts), I Also Love to get all my fresh produce You can not beat the prices compared to the grocery stores Also you should come to a Hometown Produce & Support vs. a Grocer that is rippin' us off! Thank you Mr. Block for years of Good times at your Stand I am glad my Neighbor Brought me and I will keep recommending and coming! read more

Due to the pandemic it has been a few years since I made it to Block's for my flower/veggie needs but I was tired of overpaying for subpar plants so this year I made my way back. I always joke that Block's Day is my second to least favorite day of the year (the first being the day I actually have to plant the darn things). It's hot, its sweaty, it's crowded, and moving those carts around between people (who are just as cluelessly searching for their annuals as I am) is aggravating. But by gosh, it's not Block's fault they're so popular! The prices are right, the selection is great, and the variety is huge. Of course people are going to swarm. You just gotta suck it up and deal. Yes, walking through with a cart is a real pain. I actually think it's best to either go solo or with just one other person because a group can really muck up the works. I also tried a new technique this year wherein I got my veggies and herbs, and a few perennials then paid, loaded it in my car, and went back for my flowers. Yes it took a little longer but it was so much easier maneuvering my cart without everything overflowing on it. Also, the fact they had every cashier open made that real easy, I didn't have to wait in line at all the first time! Over the years they've also expanded their offerings, which was cool. I've saw so many more succulents and a lot more greenery in baskets than I remembered from visits past. You also can't beat their prices on shepherd hooks and planters (I got two huge, durable, plastic planters with drainage holes for a little under $4 each). Even with the rise in prices so many places, it's good to see Blocks still selling perennial starts at .99 and nice hanging baskets for $12-18. Water everything well and you'll have beautiful blooms until the fall! read more

Blocks is the place to go for your planting needs- cheaper than the rest! The parking and crowds may deter you, but the prices shall entice: almost half of what the competitors are tagging their flats. They come a little smaller, so get them in their homes asap. I spend 1/3 the price going to Blocks! read more

In todays hyper inflated crazy prices this business is an INCREDIBLE value if you are into all things gardening and landscaping. The selection of plants, flowers and tree's at this family run business are well taken care of where everything they sell is green and alive unlike many of the discount retailers in the area where their plants are under watered and half dead. None of that here where you can rest assured you are getting heathy stock that you can confidently replant in your yard and it will survive. I came here originally based on strong recommendations from several friends who are huge fans of this business and come back years after year for their gardening needs. The quality of the stock and prices are main drivers for their loyalty with flats of plants (12 plants) running $8.99 each where you can mix and match the flats with different plants. I have gotten all my gardening needs taken care here, to include my tomatoes, peppers, cukes, squash and herbs for a grand total of $27. Thats what I would have spent for like 5 plants at English garden which is where I use to shop. This value equation along with their quality stock has made a fan of me as well where all my future garden shopping will be here as I now count myself as one of their many loyal customers. Five stars ++ read more

Great place to go for all kinds of gardening needs. It's a family owned market. They had a huge selection of fruits, veggies and herbs during the spring planting season. Much healthier plants than the regular stores and great quality. They close the store in the months of mid June - July. Last month was my second visit, they did not have much of garden items. They had very few plants and did not have planters or garden decor. They had a great collection of fresh local produce, canned veggies, jellies, jams and preserves. Reasonably priced and good parking space. read more

Great place, awesome Michigan grown veggies and the workers and the kid that helps with the corn are all so enjoyable and nice.

I've been going to Blocks since I was born-a longggg time ago!! When we wanted fresh vegetables and fruit for our family of 8-we shopped at Blocks for the freshest, farm grown produce! It closes at seasons end, so we kids helped the adults snap beans, and stuff the jars with either tomato, runner beans, or peaches-whatever we bought in bulk to open in the winter to enjoy in the cold weather. The splash of the summer's delightful fruit and veg we worked so diligently to preserve. We'd keep apples, potatoes, cabbage, squash, and onions-in the fruit cellar-as it can make it thru the winter in the basement cellar. It was hard work; but it was fun! They still sell their freshly picked sweet corn-whether it is white, silver queen, or bi-colored sweet-we'd pull out a bag from the freezer that we carefully prepared during the summer. We'd close out the year in October-and bring home our pumpkins from Blocks. They must literally have a million of them in all shapes, colors-large or small in either pie or carving pumpkins! Blocks is really a wonderful trip back in time everytime we go there! Their parking lot is the only thing I can think of that's negative-but that's only from their customers being a bit rude and impatient-not the fault of the market. This place will be a great part of your family tradition. read more

Great for fresh veggies and plants and great outdoors set-up. Recommended for those who don't know

Best fresh corn on the planet. And amazingly affordable pricing! Pretty narrow window to get this corn grown nearby and picked and delivered multiple times per day. Hurry if you enjoy fresh sweet corn!! read more

The food is always fresh and I prefer supporting locally I get there early for the best choice and freshest produce

Such a great experience. We are not from Michigan and since we moved here have gone to Lowe's, Eastern Market, and this year we went to Block's. Block's was by far the most amazing, fun, and extremely cost conscious. Was absolutely packed and the parking was challenging, but definitely will go back. read more

Wow, best place for plants May-early June AAAAND best place for produce Mid-July-October! Love this place!

Great produce and plants. There pumpkin prices in the fall cannot be beat. I try to go there at least 3 times while they are open.

The best corn!! Came in on the truck while we were there, lots of homemade breads from bakeries produce all very very fresh!

This place while open only seasonally is an unappreciated gem in the downriver area. Great farm fresh perfection. read more

I LOVE this place! I'd give them 20 stars if I could! Great prices, amazing produce and plants, and excellent service! I'm eager to come here every year! read more

Blocks stand and greenhouse has a great selection of plants in the spring, vegetables and fruit in the summer, and Halloween decorations in the fall. I only wish they would open a little sooner in the springtime read more

Excellent prices & selection of flowers & produce. Employees helped twice on last visit. Went out of their way to assist. Grateful. Thank you Blocks! read more

I've been looking for a new farmers market because the quality at Randazzo near me has gone down. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and will definitely be back. I love it's an open air market so you get a good breeze while shopping. Apparently their sweet corn is an item people wait for each year. When I went it was fill a bag with as much corn as you could for $2.99 and bogo free. The prices for produce are so much better than any grocery store and it's a great feeling to know I'm supporting local farmers. The quality of the produce was also great. Although Block's is a little further from my home it is worth the drive. read more

First time ever visiting this location, the Saturday before Mother's Day, we got there 30 mins before open and the place was already a circus! They had the most beautiful wandering purple Jews, beautiful selection and the pricing was absolutely astonishing! Will definitely be back, couldn't even see everything I was hoping too. It was definitely busy and i understand why! read more

Fantastic quality greenhouse with a friendly customer service staff. Best prices for flats of flowers and veggies

This place is amazing. They have always had quality plants and vegetables. Love the variety of options for your garden as well. Feels like going to a lovely country farm. It's always packed and I enjoy coming here. read more

I've only just discovered Blocks but I'm already in love. I'd gotten word of this place on Facebook, where various friends were asking whether fall items were available at Blocks. Blocks? What the hell is that? Jacob and I made a weekend visit to see what all the hullabaloo was about. We were not prepared for the crowds but had fun finagling our way through them to get our week's produce. The prices are more than fair. Michigan honey crisp apples for $.79 a pound? That's unheard of! Ten pounds of potatoes for $1.99? Okay! Seedless grapes for $.99/pound? I'm down. Hardy mums 3 for $13? That's way better than Meijer! Not only are the prices awesome, but we were pleased with the quality as well. It's not like shopping at Aldi where you pay less but also get "seconds" or "imperfections" on your produce. Everything we bought was fresh and tasty. Blocks is an experience and I'm so glad I finally discovered it. My husband and I have vowed to continue to purchase our produce at Blocks. We'll definitely be back in spring for the flowers we've been hearing so much about. read more

Snow is officially gone, the weather is getting warmer by the day. Summer is fast approaching, and if you own a house with a decent lawn in the backyard, you should come here for your flowers and veggies. Plan out your front lawn, then plan out your back lawn, copy stuff from pinterest then put foot to ass cause it's what green thumb kids do in the summer time. These guys have an uncanny selection on their plants. Salvia to heirloom tomatoes, grafted apple trees to potted lavender plants,, whatever you're looking for, these guys have it. Their prices are pretty good as well. Averaging around $7 a flat, these guys are very affordable. Need things to put your plants to the ground? No problem, they sell everything from hoes to rakes to shovels. They'll even sell you big bags of dirt too. Even if you don't have a lawn, they have tons and tons and tons and tons of pots to out your plants in. Some are nice and decorative as well. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. The cashiers are very efficient. Their carry to your car kids are very very helpful and courteous as well. Attention cheapskates! They lift something heavy for you, make sure you tip them well. Life is awesome when the glass is half full! Weeeeeeeeeee! read more

Block's Stand & Greenhouse - (",) - Farmers Market Near Me - Romulus, Michigan

Block's is a local vegetable and fruit market that sells produce grown in Michigan. As a child my parents shopped here every week. I have memories of me and my siblings climbing into the tractor pulled wagons filled with corn. The four of us were tasked to fill four 50lb burlap bags of fresh picked corn. My mom had us husk and fill zip lock freezer bags for our winter food supply. The market is updated with plenty of room to shop. The prices are VERY inexpensive. I think cheaper than Randazzo's. I bought tons of vegetables and can't wait to eat them all. read more

Came to town from California and I was so pleasantly surprised at all the goodies here!! Not only great produce but canned goods, baked goods, flowers, plants, garden decor, ... just so much goodness at the most reasonable prices too. Did not expect that compared to my usual grocery options. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed seeing all the people going in and out on a weekday. Definitely worth it! read more

Out Supporting that's what I do how about you. Place a mad house week before Memorial day. Decades of fun shopping where each morning tractors pull wagons full of fresh picked corn.

This is the place to go. It is so much better than the Eastern market to me. You can get all kinds of plants during the beginning of the season. It is best to call head to see if what your looking for will be able. I love to get fresh pinto beans still in the pod!!! They are amazing. The prices here are the best. The have a lots of fruit and veggies, hay, dry goods and local honey. When you go be prepared for the crowd, everyone is so nice and helpful. Parking is a challenge but it's worth it. read more

Love this place is heaven sent. Great place to get fruits and vegetables and MORE. Apparently they are known for their freshly grown and picked Michigan corn which arrives daily at 9am. Get here early because these folks know all about it and they are going after it. They have a great selection of fruits and veggies as well as seasonings sauces and plants (annuals and perennials). read more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! Real fresh produce along with specialty items like jams and different flavored butters..YUMMY! And Voorhees cookies made in Grand Rapids and Amish breads. The planetarium odds awesome too BUT... You snooze you lose, their plants go FAST. One of the other things I like about this company is they have canning and preserves classes. Anyone can learn to can their produce for the winter months. As well as learn to make their own jams and jellies. How great is that! Although all that is great.. That is NOT for me... I am NOT that domesticated. LOL. Along with it being family owned (50yrs) and family operated they treat everyone like family. Very courteous and friendly. So yall stop on by and get some good food and don't forget to ask me over for dinner. read more

Nice fresh and reasonably priced produce. However be careful with bringing home fruit flies. Just leave the bags outside a bit and shake everything before you take inside read more
