Macomb Farmers Market Celebrates 50th Anniversary

By - Alyson Sturgis, Macomb Farmers Market Board Chair

The Macomb Farmers Market is excited to announce the upcoming 2025 summer season! The market will be returning to Chandler Park in Macomb on Saturdays and Thursdays from 8am-Noon. Saturdays begin May 3 and Thursdays begin May 29th. Along with this return of the summer market is the celebration of Macomb Farmers Market’s 50th Anniversary!

The Macomb Farmers Market is dedicated to providing an opportunity for local farmers, food producers, artisans and crafters to sell directly to the consumer in a venue that builds community and supports the development of entrepreneurs. For fifty years, they have worked to build and support a local economy, and the market only continues to grow in attendees and vendors every year.

Part of that growth has also included the Market’s participation in the Link Match Program which allows those with SNAP benefits to make their dollars stretch further at places like farmers markets where they can access locally grown food. To learn how the program works, you can direct questions to the Farmers Market Community Table during market hours.

Whether you’re looking for something homemade, hand made, or home grown, there’s something for everyone at The Macomb Farmers Market. Each market is slightly different, so follow along on Facebook and Instagram to keep in the loop on that week’s special offerings whether it’s a one time only vendor or visiting musician.

“You can expect a welcoming and family-friendly environment with even more vendors, live entertainment, and children’s activities than ever before!” says Macomb Farmers Market Board Chair and vendor Alyson Sturgis.
