This Thursday is an extra special day as we celebrate the Bay Area Farmers Market | Community in Connection Day!

Alongside an incredible lineup of our local farmers and vendors that bring fresh produce, tender meats, eggs, florals, honey, syrup, baked goods, wellness offerings, home décor, handmade goods + more....we’re welcoming community organizations to connect you with valuable local programs and resources!

Come stock up for your week + maybe plan to stay a few extra minutes to chat with some of the incredible organizations serving initiatives right in our backyard. Check out what's new with the Bay County Library System, enter the raffle with the Saginaw Bay Community Sailing Association, chat with your local Bay City Cooperative Market + meet other community orgs all in one convenient place this week.

Did we mention our 'Farm to Fork' Food Safety Program launches too? Be sure to stop by the Info Booth to learn practical tips for safely shopping, handling, and storing fresh produce and other foods at home. Ask questions directly to our trusted friends and local educators at MSU Extension - Bay County + grab a couple of useful giveaways (while supplies last!)

Food safety matters from the farm, to the market, to your kitchen table.....and we’re so excited to bring this educational resource directly to you!

NEED SOMETHING ELSE?

Our Info Booth is located on the northern side of the plaza, nearest the Pere Marquette Depot. Stop by and say hello! You can ask us about:

• SNAP/EBT + food assistance programs
• Market membership programs
• Market Bucks
• BAFM merchandise
• Upcoming events + programs
• Vendor information
• Or just about anything BAFM!
