Richland Farmers Market 2012
Are you as excited as this potato and corn plant for the farmers' market?
The Richland Farmers’ Market, in its 5th year of operation, is located on the grounds of the Gull Lake Middle School (former High School; 9550 East M-89, Richland, MI 49083), and will be open Wednesday afternoons (3:30-6:30 p.m.), May 23rd to October 17th. There will NOT be a market on Wednesday July 4th. Vendors set up in a small parking lot behind the Gull Lake Middle School, which can be reached by turning south into the school complex at the stoplight. There is access to restroom facilities on-site in the middle school building, but no running water or electricity.
The goals of the market are threefold: 1) to be a profitable outlet for local farmers and craft vendors, 2) to create a gathering spot and opportunity for social interactions for Richland area residents, and 3) to provide a predictable, ample selection and variety of high quality fresh, locally-grown produce and crafts for customers.
The market will be filled with exciting events, entertainment and fundraisers. We will be announcing these events as the schedule materializes, but look for regular musicians, barbecues and school fundraisers. We will also be featuring a produce item of the week accompanied with recipes to make use it; Visit the For Shoppers page for our featured produce of the week, accompanied by simple, tasty recipes for cooking that item.
We are a proud partner of the Michigan Farmers Market Association (MIFMA) and the Food Assistance Partnership. We will again be accepting Bridge Cards at the market; come on out and use your cards for fresh, local, healthy food.
