Downtown Ypsilanti Farmers' Market

The Ypsilanti Farmers Market - Downtown, operated by Growing Hope, has established itself as a vital community hub, providing fresh produce and homemade goods to the local population. The market operates outdoors from May to October and moves indoors from November to December 20th, continuing its mission to support local vendors and offer a wide range of products.

Vendors at the market are required to sell products that are grown or made in Michigan, ensuring a focus on local agriculture and craftsmanship. This practice not only supports local farmers and artisans but also reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting goods over long distances.

The market features around 40 vendors offering a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, cheese, meat, plants, soaps, and handmade crafts. Payment options include Cash, EBT/SNAP/Bridge Card, Double Up Food Bucks, Credit/Debit, Prescription for Health, WIC Project FRESH, Senior Market FRESH/Project FRESH, Market Dollars, and Hoophouses for Health. The Healthy Communities tent provides health information and assistance with payment methods. The market is held on Tuesdays from 3-7pm.
