Fresh, Local, Healthy- For the Community. Managed by growing hope.
The Downtown Ypsilanti Farmers Market (16 S Washington) and Depot Town Farmers Market (100 Rice Street), run by Growing Hope, aim to increase access to fresh and healthy food while supporting our local economy and developing our community.
Outdoor market season is May-October. Downtown Market is Tuesdays 3-7 pm; Depot Town Market on Saturdays, 9 am - 1 pm In November and December we take our farmers market inside. Location TBD
We have around 40 vendors each day, selling a large variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, breads and baked goods, cheese, meat, plants and seedlings, soaps, laundry detergent, and other homemade crafts and jewelry. We ask of our vendors that all the products they sell be grown or made in Michigan. The markets are open May-October outdoors, and we move inside to the Corner Brewery in November and December to wrap up our season!
We accept many forms of payment at the market including; Cash, EBT/SNAP/Bridge Card, Double Up Food Bucks, Credit/Debit, Prescription for Health, WIC Project FRESH, Senior Market FRESH/Project FRESH, Market Dollars, and Hoophouses for Health. Stop by our Healthy Communities tent to swipe your card and get tokens to spend, or to ask questions and get health information!
Growing Hope founded the Downtown Ypsilanti Farmers Market in 2006, and took over management of the Depot Town Farmers Market in 2013.
