The Michigan Farmers Market Association’s (MIFMA) Farmers Markets at the Capitol are a cornerstone of downtown Lansing’s summer scene. Shoppers can choose from a plethora of products, including fresh produce, baked goods, soaps, and more. Visitors can also enjoy numerous food trucks parked along Capitol Avenue throughout the market day.
The first Farmer’s Market of the year will be held on July 23, 2024. The mission of the Farmers Markets at the Capitol is to create a bustling marketplace that highlights Michigan food and agricultural goods.
The Farmer’s Market at the Capitol accepts various assistance programs like SNAP Bridge Cards, Double Up Food Bucks, WIC Project FRESH, and Senior Market FRESH, demonstrating MIFMA’s commitment to ensuring Michigan residents’ access to fresh, local food products.
The next two markets of the 2024 season will take place on August 27 and September 24.
