Now this may just be our favorite Farmer's Market of the recent past. Opened every Saturday rain or…read moreshine 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.

This farmers market isn't very large, so there aren't a ton of vendors, but I was pleasantly…read moresurprised 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.

First I was so excited to see strawberries in stock, given they have had such a rough crop this summer. And not only did they have them but they had quite a bit! They're small but mighty delicious! Also, love all the local brands/makers they carry and they just keep upping their game outside of produce as well. In particular I'm mightly geeked that they carry Bird Dog Baking from Ypsi (love their rye teacake), White Lotus Farms (my husband can't stop raving about the pistachio blackberry croissant I brought him), Why Not Pie?, Harvest Kitchen, and more. And of course, my beloved Crust. Everyone here is so kind. The mission is so important. And their products are so great. Love having them so close by!

I travel regularly to Argus from Jackson to buy local organic produce; being a vegan, I can't…read morestomach the idea of eating grocery store food. This is as local as you can get, without visiting the farm personally. They also have a great selection of locally sourced meat and dairy; and a cozy enclosed patio to enjoy a coffee and a fresh pastry. The vibe is earthy and relaxed, without a red cap in sight. If you care about your food, you need Argus in your life.

Maybe I'm a little biased because this bad boy is walking distance from my house but man--I love…read moreit. First off, it's in the afternoon and evening which is ace. Usually I'm running around Saturday mornings so it's nice to be able to hit a farmer's market later in the day and during the week. They have a nice mix of different produce as well as prepared products. It's great to get Corridor Sausage in my own backyard, love Mindo chocolate from Dexter and I'm thrilled to see them there every week. If I'm feeling like a snack Pilar's Tamales or Good Times Kettle Corn really hit the spot. The Brinary, Seedling (who I used to buy from when I lived in Chicago in their markets), and the Zingerman's creamery are all favorites. Not to mention all the beautiful fresh fruits and veggies. YES. Also--the parking lot rules. If it's too hot to bike or walk it's really nice to roll up and easily find a parking spot without having to pay a meter. It shouldn't matter but it totally does. The Saturday and Wednesday markets in Kerrytown are awesome but I for a few small items I love coming here. Popping in for a tasty eat at the Roadhouse doesn't hurt either! ;)

This Westside Farmers' Market is every Thursday from 3-7 during the summer months and is located in…read morethe Zingerman's Roadhouse parking lot on the corner of Maple and Jackson Avenues. What a find! This market is the perfect compliment to the Ann Arbor Farmers' Market on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Instead, it's in the late afternoon / early evening, which is a nice change, and has an easy location good for parking and on the west side of town. The market hosts about 20 local Michigan vendors, and Zingerman's is usually always outside sampling some kind of yummy goodness. There's a nice selection of fruits, veggies and flowers. I usually hit up this market every Thursday on my way home from work and almost never leave empty-handed. Rain or shine, the market is there.

I love the vibe here! This is a cute local grocer that has prepared, local, fruits, veggies, and a…read moresmall selection of cheeses/meat/ spices/ dry goods. They carry some zingermans products and their catering is very convenient around the holidays. They carry Christmas trees in the winter and lots of herbs, flowers, etc outside in the warmer months. I *love* their quiches. They have become a holiday staple in our family on Christmas and Thanksgiving morning. Lately I've been coming for postpartum prepared meals because I know their ingredients are decent. Everything is a bit pricey, but I know the stuff is quality and we've had such a good experience with their catering department. That we will be shopping here for a long time.

Only place in town I could find rhubarb the last week of March - Michigan grown! I was surprised but delighted to browse their extensive selection of craft beers, ciders, and non-alcoholic beverages. This is definitely a good place to go if you're looking for something fun to try, or to bring something unique to a dinner party etc. They also have meat, dairy, a lot of ready-mades, and a nice looking salad bar. It is overall more expensive than other grocery stories, but presumably shopping here is supporting a local business and local farmers.

This place is a hidden gem!! I found it randomly on Google and wanted to check it out…read more I finally came with my baby and it was pretty great! The only thing I wish, is that it was stroller friendly. It's mostly gravel so it's very inconvenient and probably damaging to the stroller. I understand it's a farm though (and that they have a separate cafe). Anywho, there is a whole parking lot for people to park and then an area for shopping for fresh veggies and bread. And there is a separate area by a lovely willow tree where you can get coffee, their home made root beer (will have to try that next time), and pastries. Now the pastries were AMAZING!!! I got their chocolate croissant and jalapeno popper croissant. Both were sooo delicious!! The chocolate croissant was very close to how Quebec makes them. It was soft and had the right amount of chocolate! The Jalapeno popper croissant filling was sooo unique and tasty!! I loved it! I will definitely be back! Oh and I sampled their mango lassi and it was delicious! I also appreciated the space where kids can feed and look at the goats and llama. There is a little pond play area too. And a beautiful garden! There probably is even more, I didn't get to see everything since it was hard to navigate with the stroller. Will bring a carrier next time.

I've wanted to try White Lotus Farms and I was able to get a few things when they were set up at…read moreEastern Market. I got an olive levain loaf of bread and a morning bun. The bread was very good, filled with Kalamata olives. The morning bun sort of reminded me of a croissant with cinnamon sugar in a spiral shape, it was decent, but I wouldn't get it again. The stand was very busy, they had a large variety of things, I wasn't able to check out anything besides the baked goods. Ok get bread again, next time I go to Eastern Market.

What a hidden gem! Came here after a swim lesson and discovered they have yummy sandwiches (and…read moreother food)!! The Granny Ham sandwich was deliciousssss!!! It is simple but everything pairs well together. It is easy to bite (I got the BBQ Chicken sandwich and it's much messier to eat. I ended up trading with my Husband). I am definitely going to tell friends and bring friends to this place! It is a nice place to dine in as well. They have drinks too and I tried their London Fog. So affordable at $5. It tasted ok though but I would try their coffees next time. Definitely recommend coming here!!

Sad to say I won't be coming here anymore.

Due to life and a pandemic I took a few years off from strawberry picking but I was excited to do…read moreit again this year! I was not left disappointed. First off, we went on a Friday early evening the week the strawberries were ready for picking and it was PLENTIFUL. So many berries. My family and I all agreed that we would only be picking enough to eat at home and that's it. No jamming, canning, freezing, etc. Yet the berries were so perfect, so ripe and beautiful we somehow picked a full tray each, even in the 90 degree, 60% humidity heat. NO REGRET! It's still super easy to go here. Drive up, grab your tray, pick your berries, drive back and get them weighed (there's stall with mixes for baked goods, jams, and more plus bottled beverages if the heat is getting to you). I can't remember exactly but it shook out to be around 2.59 a pound I believe (but don't quote me on that) and I got $23 dollars worth. Now I have nearly 9lbs of strawberries in my fridge for snacking, baking, and more. But don't expect jam this year. I haven't the energy for that!
