My family has had a cottage in PA my entire life, and the Farmer's Market has breathed a whole new breath of life into Port Austin. It's the highlight of the weekend. Well done with great variety.

I became a Port Austin business owner four years ago, and it amazes me how successful it has become. I own a restaurant and customers come in and comment on how it is not only a farmers market, but also a place to meet new people and visit with old friends. That is what i think is pretty cool.

My family and I enjoy the atmosphere of the market, the free horse drawn carriage rides, the food booths and, of course, the craft booths! We also enjoy the Kids Fun event that the PA Farmers Market hosts on the second weekend of market.

The Port Austin Farmers Market provides a wonderful environment to meet with friends and neighbors, talk with local farmers and buy fresh produce. The location of the mareket, two blocks from Lake Huron, provides an incredible backdrop for the market. The people who work at the market and make it the success that it is are the key link in this great example of farm markets. It is personal, friendly, social and cool all at the same time.

I have worked or shopped weekly since the Port Austin Farm Mrkt began. It is a community gathering and effort where we share our healthy environment with all those who choose to attend the Saturday morning event. We are very proud of our Village and it's Harvests & Hospitality.

The Farmers Market is a great place for locals and visitors alike. What's better than fresh fuits and veggies in the summer! One of our favorite items is the most wonderful local honey! Being motel owners we don't get there as often as we'd like but we send our guests there every Saturday and they come back completely amazed at how wonderful it was.

Pt. Austin Farmers Market has given many area merchants the opportunity to realize their dream of showcasing their unique talents to the public. It has also given area residents and vacationers the chance to find many items that would not be available at most chain stores. It has brought the community together.

Not only is the Port Austin Farmers Market a great place to pick up fresh produce, fresh meat and a wide variety of other items, it has also become a social happening where one often meets up with friends from all over the county. There is a "friendly" feel to the market which is apparent in the many smiles observed among the vendors and the shoppers. Additionally, every person who helps out with the Farmers Market has volunteered without being asked. These volunteers share a community pride and interest in the opportunities offered by the Farmers Market. The market is an organized,well thought-out, and growing event in this small community at the "Tip of the Thumb."

I think this is a GREAT Farmers Market. The only thing I would change is allowing dogs. I do not think that dogs should be allowed at the market for safety reasons. Other than that it's a fantastic market!!!!

My best friend's family has welcomed me and taken me in as their own since I started vacationing in Port Austin with them about 8 years ago - found out just 4 years ago, my Grandmother grew up there as well! I love Port Austin as if I, myself, grew up there - my roots have been firmly planted. But my philosophical roots are not nearly as tasty nor as beautiful as what you will find at the Farmer's Market in Port Austin - that is where you will find a quintessential example of the roots of America!

The Port Austin Farmers Market makes life a little easier in these times of so much hardship. It showcases local and area people and their businesses. The people are always so friendly and always have a kind word to say. They always want you to try what they are selling. Even if you don't want to buy anything they just want to send you away with a smile and a good memory of your visit. It is just a friendly and relaxing time to get away and visit these kind people.

If your travels bring you anywhere around the Thumb, the Farmer's Market in Port Austin is a stop you must not miss! There is a wide selection of produce and goods that will please everyone.
