The Downtown Marquette
2009 Farmers & Artists Market
Saturdays, June 6th through December 19th, from 9am to 2pm at the Marquette Commons (112 South Third Street in Marquette, Michigan.)
The Downtown Marquette Farmers & Artists Market features forty vendors with a variety of locally produced items. A wide array of produce and meats grown organically, naturally, and conventionally is available. Flowers and vegetable starts, including heirloom varieties and native plants can be purchased for your garden. In addition to our growers, we have local soap makers, bread bakers, herbalists, jewelers, wood workers and other artists.
For your convenience, canvas shopping bags are available for sale at the market this season. The 100% organic cotton bags, which feature the Farmers & Artists Market logo and long shoulder straps for easy portability, are on sale for $4.oo each.
REAL Freshness & Flavors...
The food you'll find here wasn't picked last week, shipped across the country, and gassed to stimulate the ripening process while sitting in storage for weeks. It was picked within the last day and brought directly to you! Find out what food should taste like.
REAL Community Support...
Spending locally - whether it be on food, artwork, clothing, or gas - promotes the local economy and helps area farms, artists, and businesses survive and grow. Shopping locally is a great way to say, "I care about this community!"
REAL People...
Meet the people who grow your food! Ask questions about the growing process, take a farm tour, or volunteer on a farm to learn the life of a local farmer.
