Grand River Farmers Market

06/25/2026

FRIDAY!
Just a couple more weeks until SUMMER seasonal produce really starts to get underway! Until then, we’ve got dozens of uber knowledgeable folks here to serve you - with all kinds of current seasonal produce, agricultural goods, hot and ready foods, frozen meals to take n bake, and we’ve got a warm and welcoming community vibe - you’ll always be greeted with a smile!

Bringing the family? Come to the market early, then head on down 10:00 - 11:30 to the River & Rail for Grow Jackson’s Family Fun Friday in the gardens at 137 W. North St., right inside the walls of the historic armory! Get your hands in the dirt and learn a little bit about gardening and the environment - you’ll even take home a countertop compost bin!

🇺🇸 DON’T FORGET🇺🇸…
There will be NO Market July 3rd or 4th,
so be sure to stock up on everything you need this weekend for your holiday get together - we’ve got steaks, burgers, dogs, brats, chicken, salad, fixings, appetizers, snacks, flowers for your hosts, and more!

Beth and the Happy Camper Cafe return with fresh coffee and the full food and drink menu - the Italian chopped sandwich is a favorite, and the brats are out of this world… be sure to grab a *new* vanilla Birthday Cake latte, or another special flavored tea
or lemonade -

Stitch n Cro pops in -
Our friends at the Jackson District Library are back -
And again, seasonal produce is beginning to roll in - but at this time of year, it turns over quick… Get it while you can! Here’s your expected lineup for 6/26:

Apologies -

Our vendors try hard to gauge trends, track sales, prepare for attendance,
and accommodate our wonderful regulars -

But despite their best efforts, there’s no way to anticipate the ever-increasing turnout like we keep enjoying, and we continue to have some of them selling out - a few every week! (Including The Fry Guy!)

We’ll keep trying hard to deliver at your pace. Keep up the good work - we will meet the challenge! YOU are bringing the growth every week!

Thank you, Jackson ☺️ What a great weekend!
