The community really comes together each Sunday and gathers in the center of town for this event. The positive atmosphere combined with the excellent variety of items available make for a pleasent Farmer;s Market experience. In addition, it is a clean, safe, family freindly environment.

The Grand Blanc Farmers Market is a true community resource. It offers the finest in fresh produce and a chance to meet and interact with others in the community. During the summer months, it is an important part of our weekly Sunday routine.

I love the friendly atmosphere of the vendors , the location is great, it brings people into downtown Grand Blanc on a Sunday . They've started having musicians which adds to the enjoyment of the trip. There is a wide assortment of produce and other goods to buy.

Because the vegetables and fruit are larger and fresher than anything you will find at your local grocery. I saw a head of cabbage the size of a basketball. If that's not enough to get you to the farmers market there is always fresh baked goods, real honey, home made granola, luscious fruit, kid's activities, and smiling faces where ever you look.
Finally, if you value savings over taste, My weeks supply of fresh products for a family of 4 was under $20.

Maybe it's the smell of the blossoms on the beautiful floral arrangements or the scents from the fresh herbs inspiring a scrumptious family meal. It could be the eye appeal of the vibrantly colored organic fruits and vegetables. Whatever it is, it's where I want to be.

Our county was hit hard with unemployment, this will help the unemploy to be able to support and buy local produce and crafts that is cheaper than purchasing at grocery stores. Also, to keep our local farmer markets employed. This also, provides entertainment that is free on the weekend to give the people a break away from home.

First, it added a reason to stay in GB and come downtown. Second it gave the community a reason to come together as a community. Third, we support locally grown products and would have traveled to other markets. Since the market has been downtown, there has been a general improvement in peoples attitudes about the street it is on and the area it is in. It is well run with lots of activities for the kids and visitors.
