Farmington Farmers Market

The Farmington Farmers and Artisans Market is, by repeated local acclaim, one of the very best in metro Detroit — it’s been named the area’s top farmers market multiple times and has been running for over three decades. Held Saturdays at the Walter E. Sundquist Pavilion in downtown Farmington, it brings 50-plus Michigan farmers, makers, and artisans together with produce, flowers, baked goods, and specialty items, often with live music to set the mood. It runs from spring into early November, and the historic, walkable downtown around it makes for a perfect post-market wander. If you’re going to make a destination trip out of a single market in this part of the metro, this is a strong pick.
