Leelanau Farmers Market Schedule
If the old adage is true--"you are what you eat"--then you are destined to be a delicious and beautiful bounty, for that is what Leelanau County offers this summer. The best of what Leelanau grows will be available to you at one of the five farmers market locations in our area. While most begin in mid-June, the Suttons Bay market set up last Saturday.
The Leelanau Farmers Market is kicking off its 9th year and adding Northport as a new market location. This means you will not have to go far to find some of the superior food offered by our region and if you happen miss one, check the schedule and take a short drive to one of the other towns. Soon there will be snow peas and strawberries, maple syrup and honey--everything that reminds you of summer and how good it is to be here and alive.
A comprehensive guide to the local offerings, from U-pick strawberry fields to local wineries, is summarized in the annual Taste the Local Difference guide which is available throughout the region. The guide includes farms and winery listings, CSA contacts, addresses, phone numbers and an index to seasonal food availability. A kind of phone book for food. No need to shuffle through the yellow pages--just pick up a guide and start eating!
