Lansing Area Farmers Markets

But when you want (and have the time) to stop and smell the roses, you can do that literally and metaphorically at a Farmers' Market.

There are numerous reasons why Farmers' Markets are so fantastic,

• You get to support your fellow community members by shopping locally
• Produce is always in season
• Meats, cheese, bread, and other foods are always fresh
• You can find handmade items such as jewelry, soaps, and bags
• There's usually a food or drink vendor there, so you can sip a coffee while shopping
