Located at 300 N. Harbor Drive in Grand Haven, Michigan, this weekly farmers market runs from May through late October, offering vendors two prime selling days each week: Wednesday and Saturday mornings from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The market draws a steady stream of local shoppers looking for fresh, locally-sourced food and produce throughout the growing season, making it an ideal venue for farmers, bakers, and specialty food producers serving the Ottawa County community. The Grand Haven Farmer's Market attracts the typical farmers market crowd: home cooks seeking peak-season vegetables and fruits, bakers hunting for artisan breads and pastries, and customers interested in value-added products like jams, preserves, and honey. You'll find vendors offering everything from seasonal produce and cut flowers to plants and herbs, with many customers returning weekly as their favorite crops come into season. The market has a strong focus on supporting local agriculture and small-batch food producers, which means shoppers tend to be engaged and willing to pay for quality. An important draw for this market is its accessibility to diverse customer bases. The market accepts SNAP/EBT benefits, WIC vouchers, and Senior FMNP (Farmers Market Nutrition Program) funds, which expands your potential customer pool significantly. Credit card payments are also available, accommodating shoppers who prefer not to carry cash. This combination of payment options means you're reaching not just farmers market regulars, but also price-conscious families and seniors specifically looking for affordable, fresh food options. The May-through-October schedule captures the prime Michigan growing season, so vendors selling seasonal produce, baked goods made with local ingredients, and preserved items like jams will find strong demand. The dual weekly schedule gives you flexibility in planning your inventory and booth presence, whether you're looking to commit to both days or testing the market with a single weekly appearance.
