Alexander’s Farm Market

Fun place. Great end of season prices on perennials.

Beautiful nursery. We’ve been supporting this local business for years. They are always very helpful for our garden needs. This year we started a new garden and got out of here cheap with two bushes, three hibiscus plants and some sunflowers, all for under $ 40.
They have great sales and a wide selection of sun and shade tolerant and perennials and annuals. You can even get fruit trees and other edible plants for your garden too! Great place and the staff of vey friendly and knowledgable.

Not a good experience. Started out with beautiful flowers (baskets and flat of impatiens) but everything was dead within a month. Must have been over fertilized. Flowers stopped budding, soon nothing but green, then even the green shriveled. Called to talk with someone, was told a manager would call me back, but never got a call. Very disappointed. Had to over $ 60 worth of flowers.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Alexander’s Farm Market is the best market in the area. Better than the local grocery stores for fresh produce and dairy. The milk, cheese, eggs, and honey, are all local and at a price that CAN’T be beat anywhere in the area. The produce is as local as season permits and all other produce is labeled where it is from. HUGE nursery section and some of just the nicest people that you will meet. The prices are about half of the Ann Arbors farmers market, and the local Ann Arbor stores for that matter. Only complaint I have is that they close for the winter. But definitely go check it out and you won’t be disappointed.

Because the Ann Arbor Farmers Market is so huge and well known, locals might not realize that there are many cool smaller farm markets and produce stands in the small towns around the area. If you’re ever in Whitmore Lake, you should check Alexander’s out. It’s less than a mile off I-​23, so it’d be worth stopping even if you were on your way somewhere else.
They have one of the larger produce markets in the area that I’ve run across, and they have an extensive nursery and garden center as well.
The day I visited recently, they were offering some imported fruits and veggies but also a great deal of Michigan produce, including fresh ears of corn. They also had a really tempting array of melons, from a couple varieties of watermelon to more obscure ones. I wound up picking up a Michigan grown Sprite melon– a variety I wasn’t familiar with– for 80 cents.
