Allen Farmers Market

Our first market season in 2004 was just 10 weeks long, featuring 4 female farmers. In 2005, we became the first market in Michigan to accept EBT! We have increased our accessibility to our widely diverse neighbors by accepting a variety of payment options, including EBT, year-round Double Up Food Bucks, WIC and Market Fresh coupons, Hoophouses for Health vouchers, and credit/debit cards. The Market has grown into a thriving weekly market that provides our neighborhood with access to fresh produce and other delicious products, a convivial atmosphere to visit with neighbors, and opportunities to engage with each other and share diverse resources and perspectives.
