We held three fall/winter farmers’ markets in Manistique in 2011: one each in October, November and December. Here are some photos from the December market. We will be busy working and planning for the 2012 market season over the next few months – stay tuned and come join us on opening day May 23, 2012 from 5-6pm at the Little Bear West Arena.
The Manistique Farmers’ Market will hold our final market of 2011 on Wednesday, December 14th from 4-5:30pm at the Community Building next to Michigan Works. This will be our last market until June 2012, so stop by and stock up on wonderful local foods!

We received word today that the City of Manistique has been awarded a $62,671 grant to create a system for the Manistique Farmers’ Market that will make it sustainable and successful for many years to come. We’ll post more details about the grant project in the coming days and weeks, but for now just wanted to share the excitement of this funding announcement!
Congratulations to all 9 Michigan communities that were awarded USDA FMPP grants today:
The Manistique Farmers’ Market has decided to continue into Fall and Winter with late fall produce, eggs, baked goods and ground flours. The markets will be on the 2nd Wednesday of the month – the first one is this Wednesday, October 12th, 4-6pm at the Community Room (next to Michigan Works) in Manistique.
While there will be fewer vendors, we hope area residents will continue to support the market and area farmers … “Buying Local” is one of the best things we can do for our community.
See you Wednesday! 
Today will mark the 18th and final Farmers’ Market in Manistique in 2011. It has been an amazing season for our community and for our market. Thank you to all who shop and enjoy the wonderful fresh, local produce, eggs, meats and baked goods. 
Stop by today and stock up on all of your favorites! Unofficially, I am referring to today’s market as the “Pumpkin & Squash” Market. Such a great selection of pumpkins, butternut, acorn, and hubbard squashes available! See Pumpkin and Squash Storage for guidance on how to store these wonderful fruits to 
last you long into winter. You’ll also find a great selection of apples, potatoes, tomatoes, chicken and eggs, zucchini, and baked goods at today’s market.
See you this afternoon from 4-6pm at the Little Bear West Arena in Manistique, Michigan.

America’s Favorite Farmers’ Market contest has come to an end. The Manistique Farmers’ Market landed in 2nd place in the Boutique Market category; 2nd in the State of Michigan (the only boutique size market in Michigan’s top five); and 6th in the Nation amongst all size markets! We want to thank everyone who voted for the Manistique Farmers’ Market during the contest. We are so proud of our farmers and the residents of the Manistique area for making the market such a great success in increasing access to fresh local foods.
