The Royal Oak Farmer's Market began in 1925! It is a wonderful, exuberant, and beautiful market filled with local farmer's and their vegetables, fruit, herbs, flowers, organic produce, naturally raised meat, bakers, crafters, artisans. I wish that everyone could see the bounty. We are truly blessed to have this market here in Royal Oak.

The people who sell produce and cheese, chicken, plants, baked goods are so nice and so are those who shop there. I like giving money to "real people", not agribusiness. I cook more and enjoy food more. I am in withdrawal if I miss a week.

This team has worked so hard for its community. They are always looking for ways to improve the Farmers Market. They bring something new and different for all ages each year. They have come up with a variety of ways to communicate support for the local farmers.

It starts at the top with management and their market master, Gwen Ross is tops! She's a forward thinking lady, not afraid to try new things and embraces the community, knows how to manage the place fairly and also can generate income. She loves the city The variety in vendors is first-rate, the Sunday flea-market second to none. There's plenty of parking, has a great location and the people of Royal Oak and the surrounding area make it a wonderful place to be! kudos again to Gwen and staff for the upgrades to keep the place competitive.
