The Westside Farmers' Market was founded in 2005 by a group of volunteers within the Ann Arbor community who are passionate about putting great, local food into the hands of as many local residents as possible. It is their vision and labor of love to be one site available to small businesses (predominantly of a farming and food nature) in the area to interact directly with their consumers. The excitement and passion of many is palpable in the air as one steps foot into the market area. The market currently hosts 30 – 40 vendors each week, all with an interest in delivering a superb product across a human connection.
Today it remains a mostly volunteer endeavor. The market provides customers with the best local products available, sold to the consumer directly from the hands of the producer. The market also serves as a catalyst for community development by offering entertainment, weekly demonstrations that spark creativity, and an educational component sponsored by our vendors and local organizations.
The Westside Farmers' Market is committed to bringing fresh, local food to all members of our community. The market is a true family event, where parents can bring their children after school or work to meet and shop for fresh produce. Connections between neighbors are made or solidified, and friendly well-trained dogs are common company every week. Each season we strive to find new ways to energize the community on Ann Arbor’s west side. Come by and see your neighbors’ labors of love for yourself!
