The Clarkston Farmers' Market Welcomes You!

The Clarkston Farmers’ Market is a registered non-profit organization designed with the intention of providing an outlet for area farms to flourish by selling what they grow within their local area.  The growers provide our community with fresh locally grown produce, goods and art.  We work to create a market that will stimulate the downtown and area businesses and create a sense of place, with locally grown food at the heart of the community.

Founded and run by members of the community, the market gathers local growers and artists in the Historic District of Clarkston (across from Depot Park) from June 20^th –October 10^th, on Saturday mornings from 8:00 am – 12:00 noon. 

At the market you will experience your community up close combined with some of the area’s finest organics, fruits, vegetables, honeys and syrups, flowers, soaps, fibers, linens, and various works of art.  Musicians, animals, the nearby river, and the closeness of downtown create an inviting place for pedestrians and people on bicycles to frequent the market.  Stop by the yellow market umbrellas up front to meet the market team and purchase a basket.  The baskets help fund the running costs of the farmers’ market and support a village of weavers in Ghana.  For more information about the baskets 'click here'.

New at the Market!

The Clarkston Farmers’ Market is celebrating its fifth year supporting farmers by partnering with Bicycles for Humanity, a grassroots humanitarian organization.  During these times of economic scarcity we think it is important to run a farmers’ market that supports and honors the efforts of both our local farmers as well as acknowledging global farmers, many of whom work hard to grow our coffee that we so enjoy having at each one of our markets.

The Clarkston Farmers’ Market will be launching a 16-week community-wide event this summer and fall that will happen across each of the 16 weeks of the farmers’ market.  We are collecting 420 old bicycles and sending them to an agricultural village in Africa.  A bicycle gets farmers to their fields and medicine to families.  Community groups, organizations, and individuals are invited to share the growing season with us at the market by volunteering for the collection

The market opens June 20^th 2009 and runs 16 weeks,

ending October 10^th 2009
