Flint Farmers’ Market

I frequented the old farmer’s market before they moved where they are now and liked it but the new is the BOMB. It’s super open and organized and has vendors carrying everything from wine, fresh fruit & produce, to meats and cheeses, body products, bagels, and donuts. There are also several small food restaurants including Steady Edy’s *great sandwiches* and a fantastic place to get fresh made (daily) pita chips and hummus. My only wish would be for more hours. Currently only open Tues, Thur and Sat I think. I am local and would love to spend more time there perusing on a lunch break or whatever.

Great place. Incredible atmosphere and perfect example of how a community can unify around proving opportunity, economic development and access to wonderful products.

Stopped in here yesterday to pick up some fresh produce and baked goods. What a lovely new space for the market! It was great to see familiar faces and of course to purchase food right from the farmers. Stop in and visit, it’s open three times a week year round. Highly recommended!

This place was fabulous!!! I had never been to the new Flint Farmer’s Market so my husband took me and our kids to see it. I really love how most of it is inside, it smells soooooo good in there! So many different stalls offering really unique wares. I loved the jerky place, we sampled the beef jerky and I don’t know that I’ve tasted better! Also the Pastie place sells frozen homemade pasties, we took two home that night for dinner, yum!!! I can’t wait to go back! I highly recommend going and spending a lot of time exploring, it’s a real gold mine in there!

Lots of variety and fantastic people. You can get so much done here and in a great environment. My only complaint and reason for not giving 5 stars is that they are suppose to be open until 6 on Tues & Thurs and if you go at 5:15 most of the vendors are shutting down and have empty booths. I would stop here instead of a local store, but because I can’t rely on vendors being open I don’t risk making a pointless stop.
Make sure to check out Floradora, A Bit of Earth and Beirut! Saturdays at the market are fantastic.

A perfect 10, this place is amazing and worth the weekly trip. Tkns of great vendors with food, drink and local produce.

AWESOME is all I can say about the new market! Fresh veggies… Fish… Baked goods… And I found a spice store in here. I grew up in Royal Oak and went to the farmers market every Saturday as a kid. This one is just as good!

I grew up in metro Detroit and we have some good farmers markets. Eastern market and Royal Oak are pretty good. This one is the best by far. So many more venders and good prices. The people are friendly and helpful.

Today was the first time I’ve visited the new farmers market! I was pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of food, items, and the cheap veggie prices. This is a great addition to Flint!

This place continues to amaze. Great fun, love the free samples lol You must try the best peanut butter and jelly doughnut from the CRUST and of course my wife is a lover of the Wildtree booth where she buys a ton of seasonings that she can actually eat. We are told that the BBQ ribs in the back of the Market are awesome but will need to visit there on another trip. If you haven’t been there then you must go!

The farmer’s market is the first place I take people who aren’t familiar with Flint. So many different vendors selling everything you can imagine, and the mix of indoor and outdoor stalls makes it an afternoon event that is perfect for any season or weather forecast. It was just recently built and is beautiful, inside and out. Even if you aren’t planning on buying anything, go for the demonstrations and live music or Saturday yoga classes! It’s a great way to support local businesses.

Another amazing morning at the Farmers Market! The Flint Ingredient Company is my favorite spot. All of their products are organic and reasonably priced. You can’t beat the taste of a fresh tomato or some of their organic noodles! I also enjoy several other places in the Farmers Market such as the donut place… please do yourself a favor and get some cinnamon donuts while they are hot! Beirut is a great place to have lunch if you have time to relax in the cafeteria area. Oh and please please please don’t forget to get yourself a nice bottle of wine for the weekend from the wine shop!

One of the best farmers markets I’ve been to. I loved the old one and refused to try the new one for a good 6 months. Boy, was I missing out. So much good food here (seriously, I’ve never been disappointed). A fun play area for the kids. Adorable little book store. Amazing sweets. Great local produce and meats. I absolutely love it here! Also, there’s a Vietnamese (I believe) food truck with some great food as well as a BBQ food truck. Flint is picking up!

I loved the old farmers market and now, I love it even more. It’s such a great new add into the area and I’m glad it’s attracting so many people to come into the area. Great quality food, great vendors, great place to hang out! I ‘be pretty much tried majority of the shops and they ‘re all really really delicious. There’s really nothing bad to say about this place, except, can it not open every single day?! The Lebanese place makes really good gyros. The bbq place is absolutely delicious! All their selections are excellent, and spaghetti as a side? Yum! Thompson Creek Turkey Farm has a delicious turkey salad croissant that is literally filled. The size of it is huge, and it doesn’t even fit all inside the croissant. This is my new go to for groceries. I can get all the fresh and organic game free meat, and vegetables for a great price. I also really love the orchard mill that comes to sell their baked goods. Their banana nut bread is so soft and delicious. I only wish the food truck came more often, or that there would be more food trucks that come to the market. I hope that in the new future, it can grow even more by attracting more vendors and people to make a stop at the Flint Market.

Awesome Place

Such an amazing addition to Downtown Flint. I love the building, the location, and the energy. The all stars are: The Local Grocer, Godfreys Chicken, Hoffmans Chop Shop, Hot Cups Coffee, D’vine Wines, Crust, and Wraps ‘n Rolls food truck.
I left a star because there is room for improvement. I think the market is busy, and will be very busy throughout this summer. With the potential profits for vendors, each space should be occupied by high quality vendors. With a market this great, everything should be top notch. Don’t waste my time with bagels made at Big Apple, overpriced produce that is the exact same product sent to Kroger, and prepared food vendors who’s food is not near as good as the food trucks outside.
All in all it is a great market. It makes downtown feel like the community we all love. Tuesday’s and Thursday’s are my favorite days to be at work.

Flint, I like you!
I also like soup. Instead of waxing lyrical about the whole Flint Farmers Market (and there’s plenty to wax about… it’s such a cool spot full of great vendors), I would like to talk about soup.
1. Sweet Peaces Vegan Bistro: Hidden away past the wine corner, and across the way from the open space/​seating area where they sometimes have events and a vintage ware/​homemade goods vendor, lives the most comforting vegan soup, waiting to make your acquaintance. Garlic Potato, Tomato, Cauliflower… they are all somewhat blended (not chunky), and all equally delicious. (Also try their Tempeh Chicken Salad. Oo, mama.)
2. The Soup Vendor near the Juice People Who May also sell Sushi?: This guy. Man, this guy always has the most delicious sounding soups, but who always breaks my heart by being sold out. Apparently, people buy out whole pots. He was kind enough to scrape the bottom of the pot and let me try samples, and the Mushroom concoction, as well as the Tomato variety, were phenomenally flavorful. Sorry I forget the specific names, though, but look for all the Asian goodies and the big soup menu. I will be back one day, and early.

As someone who used to frequent the old location of the Famers Market, I was totally blown away by the new venue. It’s at least two to three times the size, and the space is used so well! I love the big open area off to the side that has a bunch of small tables, inviting patrons to sit down and chat/​drink coffee/​eat any recently purchased snacks — the old market only had a few picnic tables outside, which was fine for summer months but not so great the rest of the time.
You’ll find some of the vendors from the old market here (the egg guy, Steady Eddy’s, Great Harvest Bread, DeVine Wines (sp?), Thompson Creek Turkey Farm), as well as some awesome new additions (here’s looking at you, Gourmet Apple Cart and Crust bakery!).
I have yet to try the any of the eateries here, but it looks promising! A middle Eastern place, BBQ cuisine, a vendor that sells sushi rolls and rice bowls… and last week I even saw a food truck outside selling phở! This place definitely warrants many return visits!

Friendly people, good food, family atmosphere, couldn’t ask for a better experience. Check out LeeAy’s, Bushel’s and Pecks when you go visit you won’t be disappointed.

I’m so happy to see yet another positive addition to downtown Flint! This is an excellent place to stock up for the week on the season’s fruits, vegetables and don’t forget the flowers. You have your pick at fresh deli meats as well. Dining options are as diverse as they come! I know I have been enjoying the farmers’ market and only hope to see that you will too.
