Ann Arbor Farmers Market

What they do

Ann Arbor Farmers Market is a 107-year producer-only [[farmers-market|farmers market]] at 315 [[detroit|Detroit]] Street in Ann Arbor, MI. Founded 1919 — the same year Michigan adopted its first state legislation enabling municipal farmers markets. Operated continuously by the City of Ann Arbor Parks and Recreation Department.

Schedule:

• Saturdays year-round — 8 am – 3 pm (January–April: Saturdays only)
• Wednesdays added May–December — 7 am – 3 pm

Producer-only standard, enforced at application: “all applicants must be the grower, producer, or maker of the items they are applying to sell.” Approximately 130 vendors from across [[detroit|Michigan]] participate; vendor-mix spans farms (produce, meat, dairy, eggs), prepared-food makers, bakers, and artisans.

Why it’s listed

The 107-year continuity, the producer-only enforcement at [[san-francisco|the city]]-government level (rare for a municipal market — usually mixed-vendor by default), and the year-round operation in a state with serious winter all compound. Ann Arbor F.M. is one of the oldest continuously operating producer-only farmers markets in the Midwest, and the editorial discipline has held across more than a century of operator turnover.
