Offerings rotate by the time of year and availability. “We like to encourage our cheese lovers to try something new each visit.” Musicians regularly perform, and on a recent afternoon, the El Mariachi Loco food truck peddled tacos and tortas.ĭixboro shoppers “have a wide range of tastes, and no one cheese tends to take the lead week after week,” the Cheese People’s Nicole Bartell emails. The market has outdoor seating, some of it under cover for those seeking refuge from the sun. Every Friday, they can be found among the open-air tents grouped around Dixboro’s village green. The People make many of their own cheeses, age others in Grand Rapids and Chicago, and source varieties from artisan producers in Green County, Wisconsin, and other places. The Cheese People of Grand Rapids began selling at the Dixboro Farmers’ Market in 2016, driving more than 130 miles to bring a generous selection of gourmet cheeses such as Havarti, Gouda, Swiss, blue cheese, and cheddar that fill a display table. Here’s a look at markets in and near Ann Arbor, spotlighting sellers unique to each. Still others are loyal to the markets closest to where they live. Others travel long distances and choose just one market in this area on their way to other locations across Southeast Michigan. Some simply don’t have enough staff to spread themselves across the area and still tend to their farms or produce their goods.
In visits to four local markets, at every one we found providers for whom it’s their only, or only local, outlet. Some familiar vendors from the Ann Arbor Farmers Market, like Milan’s Wasem Fruit Farm and Kapnick Orchards of Britton, sell at other nearby markets, too. From Dexter’s modern sheds to a long driveway next to the Pittsfield Township administration building, tables abound with tomatoes, garlic, sweet corn, and prepared foods, plus colorful crafts. The farmers’ market season is in full swing.
