Join us at the Allen Farmers Market every Wednesday from 3 - 6:30 pm for delicious local foods, seasonal produce, weekly live entertainment and fun activities. Between 20 - 30 food vendors take over the parking lot on the corner of Shepard and Kalamazoo Street as well as inside the Great Room, address 1629 E Kalamazoo.

Visit us for your weekly grocery shopping for fresh produce from mid-Michigan farms, the highest quality meat, artisan baked breads, gluten-free goods, eggs, popsicles, coffee and diverse foods from around the globe.

It’s more important than ever to buy your groceries from local sources. Our supply chains for food are vulnerable and your support of the local food system helps strengthen it, while ensuring quality in taste.

All of our vendors accept cash transactions, or you can visit our Market Bank indoors to swipe a debit/credit card or SNAP/EBT card to spend at the select vendors. We do provide Double Up Food Bucks for folks that use a SNAP/EBT card and match up to $20 per market visit. Fun fact, in 2005, the Allen Farmers Market became the first farmers market in Michigan to accept SNAP/EBT.

Our market has always supported local, good food, but also has strong roots in having fun and providing a sense of place and belonging. We hope you will make it a habit to stop by the Allen Farmers Market on Wednesdays between 3 – 6:30PM and find community at the Market.

 

For the 2025 Summer Season, you can expect to see the vendors below regularly, however, sign up for the Market Alert to have access to the most up to date vendor schedule and their offerings.
