FARMERS-MARKET-FINAL-LOGO-TAGLINE 175px
The East Lansing Farmers Market (ELFM), a growers-only market, is located in an inviting, open-air park atmosphere, just steps away from the MSU campus and downtown East Lansing. Customers can fill their shopping bags with a diverse selection of fresh, farm-grown Michigan produce and products, including vegetables, fruit, artisan bread, cheese, meat, coffee, maple syrup, honey, flowers and more.

2021 Market Season 


The 2021 season of the East Lansing Farmers Market is scheduled to run June 6-Oct. 31 on Sundays from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in Valley Court Park, 280 Valley Court. View the updated COVID-19 customer guidelines for the 2021 market.

“100% Homegrown Makes Us Different”

 
What makes the ELFM unique is that every item sold by vendors is 100% homegrown. Vendors must either grow their own produce or make their own products. Customers at the market enjoy authentic local Michigan goods.

NEW! WIC and Senior Project FRESH/Market FRESH Accepted

Participating vendors at the ELFM now accept WIC coupons and Senior Project FRESH/Market FRESH coupons (some restrictions may apply). Learn more about WIC coupons and the Senior Project FRESH/Market FRESH program. 

Bridge Cards, Double Up Food Bucks Accepted


The ELFM accepts SNAP/Bridge cards at the market and allows customers to stretch their dollars with the Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) program. As a result of a grant from the Fair Food Network, the DUFB program "matches" SNAP/Bridge card dollars spent at farmer's markets. Customers will receive a dollar for dollar match (up to $20) that can be spent on fresh fruits and vegetables grown in Michigan. For example, if a customer spends $20 on their SNAP/Bridge Card, they receive an extra $20 to spend at the market.
