Wayne State University Farmers Market
After having taken a break last year, the Wayne State University Farmers Market is back this year, starting today! From 10 a.m. till 3 p.m. today (and every Wednesday until October 31), you can get fresh fruits and vegetables sourced from local producers. The WSU Farmers Market started with a couple of pilot days in the fall of 2008 before opening for its first full season the following year. It has become a staple of students and faculty of the University and residents of midtown.
Northwest Detroit Farmers’ Market
Over on Scarsdale St., there is the Northwest Detroit Farmers’ Market and it is opening for its 14th season tomorrow, June 7. This market, which will be open every Thursday from 4-8 p.m. until “early October,” houses fresh produce, eggs, local meats, baked goods and more.
