Oakland County's farmers markets has flowers & plants to make your yard beautiful and fresh foods to make you healthy.

FM Why Shop at Farmers Markets

• You can taste the difference, produce is picked ripe and sold that day.
• You can meet the farmers who grow your food and you can ask when it was picked, how it was grown, and ways to prepare it.
• You’ll find fruits and vegetables that are bred for flavor, not being uniform in size, or ability to travel.
• It puts money in the local farmer’s pockets. Commercial farmers get less than 1/4 of every dollar’s worth of produce sold in supermarkets.
• Buying locally grown produce encourages more regional farming.
• When produce is grown and purchased locally, the money remains in the community and stimulates the local economy.
• Working farms preserve open spaces.

Oakland County & the State of Michigan, has hundreds of great farms, farmers and produce.

Here’s a list of some of the Oakland County’s local Farm Markets.
