Farmers Markets near South Haven, MI

South Haven

South Haven Farm Market runs Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., mid-May through mid-October, with an added Wednesday market June through August — both under the Huron Street pavilion downtown. Fresh fruit and vegetables share table space with flowers, meat, eggs, and baked goods from growers across the region, in a lakeshore town that draws heavy summer tourist traffic looking for something beyond the beach.

Bangor Farmers Market operates on Monroe Street in Bangor, a Van Buren County city in Michigan's fruit belt along the southwest lakeshore. The surrounding county grows more blueberries and grapes than almost anywhere else in the state, which shapes what shows up on market tables here.

The Saugatuck Center for the Arts hosts this Friday market on its Culver Street grounds, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., spring through fall. Vendors bring fresh produce, baked goods, and handmade crafts, set among the center's sculpture garden and landscaped grounds. Call 269-857-2399 or check the Market at SCA Facebook page for weekly vendor lists.

Saugatuck-Douglas Green Market runs Friday mornings, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., spring through fall, at the Saugatuck Center for the Arts on Culver Street. Also known locally as the Market at SCA, it keeps a curated vendor list rather than an open-signup model — produce, prepared foods, and handmade goods from West Michigan farms and makers. The art center tie-in shows: expect more polish here than at a typical roadside stand.

Lawrence

Benton Harbor Fruit Market, on Territorial Road in neighboring Benton Township, replaced the original wholesale fruit market that once stood in Benton Harbor's "flats" district before that area was demolished in a 1967 urban renewal project. It remains a noted landmark in a county still built around fruit growing.

Benton Harbor

Benton Harbor Farmers Market operates on Pipestone Street in downtown Benton Harbor, a Berrien County city in Michigan's southwest fruit belt. It's a separate, present-day market from the historic Benton Harbor Fruit Market wholesale operation that once ran nearby — this one serves retail shoppers in the city center.

Benton Harbor

Harbor Market sets up Wednesdays from 10am to 3pm at 510 W. Main Street in Benton Harbor, spring through fall. Vendors sell produce, baked goods, and artisan goods, and past markets have included vegan meats, jewelry, and clothing alongside the usual fruits and vegetables, with live music on some market days.

Mick Klüg Farms in St. Joseph, Michigan has hand-harvested premium fruit and vegetables for generations, supplying Chicago-land and Southwest Michigan through farmers markets, wholesale delivery routes, and June, peak-season, and full-season CSA subscriptions. The New Buffalo farmstand is now open daily at 116 N. Whittaker Street downtown, with pickup spots and home delivery through the webstore.

Holland

Waukazoo Market sets up three mornings a week — Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., spring through fall — at 1126 Ottawa Beach Road in Holland. The lineup is smaller than Holland's downtown market: produce, baked goods, artisan goods, and a meat vendor, with SNAP and WIC accepted. It draws the beach-road crowd headed to or from Lake Michigan.

Holland's municipal farmers market has run for more than 45 years at the 8th Street Marketplace next to Holland Civic Center Place. More than 75 vendors sell fresh produce, jams, honey, artisan cheese and meats, fresh fish, cut flowers, and the market's well-known blueberry donuts. It runs Wednesdays and Saturdays from mid-May through mid-December, then Saturdays only into spring.

Holland

Holland Farmers Market runs Wednesdays and Saturdays, 8am to 2pm, rain or shine, spring through fall, at 150 West 8th Street in downtown Holland. More than 75 vendors sell produce, meat and poultry, dairy and eggs, baked goods, flowers, herbs, and prepared foods, with a Power of Produce club that gets kids a few dollars in tokens to spend on fruits and vegetables. Parking downtown is free.

Paw Paw

Paw Paw Farmers Market sets up Sundays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., May through October, in the lot at the corner of Gremps Street and East Michigan Avenue. Vendors come from Van Buren County and the surrounding region, with a few crossing over from nearby Indiana and Ohio counties to sell produce and homemade goods. The market was built to give the Village of Paw Paw a weekly reason to gather, not just a place to shop.

Holland

Community Action House runs a membership-based grocery store on Paw Paw Drive in Holland, where families shop using points scaled to household size and income rather than paying full retail. The nonprofit also operates a mobile market, a community kitchen, a resale store, and the Holland Community Garden, alongside financial-wellness classes and free tax prep. It partners with Lakeshore Food Rescue to redirect surplus food instead of sending it to landfills.

Allegan

Allegan Farmers Market operates on Locust Street in downtown Allegan, the county seat on the Kalamazoo River in West Michigan. Allegan County's mix of fruit orchards and vegetable farms feeds markets throughout the region, and this one sits in the middle of that growing area.

Almena Farmers' Market operates out of Almena Township near Paw Paw, in Van Buren County's fruit-and-wine belt along Michigan's southwest lakeshore corridor. The county's sandy soil and lake-effect climate support the grape and fruit orchards that regional markets like this one typically draw from.

Old School Farmers Market operates out of Allegan on Lincoln Road, selling produce, proteins, and specialty goods from regional farms and small food producers. Beyond a handful of directory listings, there's little published detail on this market's exact hours or history, so it's worth confirming current days before making the drive.

Little Red Shed Farm Market is a family-owned stand at 79202 M-40 in Lawton, run by owners Andy and Abbey, selling homegrown carrots, cucumbers, green beans, melons, peppers, pumpkins, sweet corn, squash, tomatoes, watermelon, and zucchini alongside jams, jellies, and baked goods. It's open multiple days a week, including weekend mornings, spring through fall.

Kalamazoo

Alamo Farmers' and Crafters' Market operates on West D Avenue in Alamo Township, Kalamazoo County. Pairing produce vendors with craft sellers under one market is a common rural-township format in the region, built for towns too small to support a market of either kind alone.

Otsego

Otsego Farmers Market sets up Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., May through October, in the parking lot at the Otsego Church of God on M-89. Local growers bring in-season vegetables and fruit — the lineup shifts with the calendar, heavier on greens in early summer and squash and apples by fall. It's a small-town market run by the growers who show up week after week, not a produce distributor's booth. Vendors pay a seasonal fee to sell here, which keeps the roster local.
