Empire Farmers Market

Step into the realm of the Empire Farmers Market - Your Ultimate Local Haven! Every Saturday, from 9 AM to 1 PM, between June and September, the market invites you to a world of vibrant community engagement and farm-fresh delights. Nestled downtown, adjacent to the post office at 10234 Front Street, Empire, Michigan 49630, this market is not just a shopping experience; it's a celebration of local goodness.

At the Empire Farmers Market, the spotlight is on you - the discerning consumer who craves the authenticity of locally sourced products. Revel in the bounty of Leelanau, Grand Traverse, and Benzie Counties, where all products and produce are meticulously crafted or grown. This 60-mile radius ensures that every bite, every sip, and every glance celebrates the essence of your community.

"Buy Fresh, Buy Local!" is not just a catchphrase; it's a way of life at our market. Immerse yourself in the flavors, colors, and textures that echo the land's vibrancy. With each purchase, you support the intricate tapestry of local farmers, artisans, and creators who pour their heart and soul into their offerings.

As you explore stalls adorned with nature's treasures, you become a part of something bigger - a movement that bridges the gap between rural producers and urban consumers. This isn't just a market; it's a nexus of relationships, stories, and shared dreams.

Behind the scenes, the Leelanau Farmers’ Market Association has transformed into an independent 501c3 nonprofit organization, a testament to their dedication. Under the guidance of a dynamic board of directors, including market vendors and community members, and with MSU Extension's advisory role, LFMA steers the ship of community-driven growth.

From juicy fruits to sumptuous baked goods, delicate blooms to aged cheeses, this market offers an eclectic range that caters to your every need. But it's more than the products; it's about understanding the hands that tend to the land and the hearts that infuse each creation.

Be a part of the Empire Farmers Market story. Walk the vibrant aisles, engage in conversations, and let your senses guide you. Feel the warmth of connection, and let the market spirit uplift you.

Whether you're a local championing community sustenance, a seasonal resident immersing in flavors, or an intrepid traveler seeking authenticity, the Empire Farmers Market beckons.
