On July 4, the Farmington Farmers Market became a history lesson of sorts when it combined eras from our country’s 250-year history, all in honor of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Both the Revolutionary War and the Civil War were wars about freedom. And both were turning points for this country. Thanks to many special guests and programs Saturday, the Market gave visitors a taste of what our ancestors lived through to keep the country going.
This Saturday we’re back in the 21st Century with fruit and veggies our current farmers grow that would have been appreciated by our forefathers and foremothers – full of nutrition and taste. Just as they were in 1776.
We are an award-winning market and a trusted source of healthy, local and sustainable produce. We offer a vibrant marketplace with music and special programs that create a nourishing community connection. We are open rain or shine – or snow – from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays, May 2 through November 7, at the Sundquist Pavilion, 33113 Grand River Ave. in downtown Farmington.

Student Entrepreneur Noah James’ repurposed crayons.
Repurposing crayons in a creative way
This Saturday we’re introducing Noah James, LOC Credit Union’s next winner of the Farmington Student Entrepreneur Contest.
“No Games Crayon Creations,” Noah’s novel way of repurposing crayons, will be on sale at the Farmington Farmers Market this Saturday, July 11.
Noah is an 11-year-old student from Hillside Elementary School. The future carpenter loves Legos, reading, running and soccer. His idea to remodel used crayons started from a mini-society project he did. Not only does he enjoy seeing how the finished product turns out, but he also loves seeing how other children enjoy the crayons.
Look for Noah's booth at this Saturday’s Market and support this eager Farmington student entrepreneur!
