The Leelanau Farmers Markets is a non-profit organization started up with the initiation of the Leelanau Agricultural Alliance & MSU Extension with the goal of improving the marketing of local farm products and preserving county farmland.
The Ag Alliance proposed the idea of starting up Farmer’s Markets in the area in 2000, and with the help of MSU Extension, developed a committee to oversee the planning and operation of the markets.
Our mission is:
“to provide locally produced farm and food products for the benefit of the Leelanau Community.”
