ANN ARBOR, Mich. – With the Ann Arbor Farmers Market facility closed until April, many farmers in the area will have an abundance of produce waiting for buyers.
Since shopping at the Market is no longer an option, shop at farm stops and food suppliers that provide farmers and local food producers opportunities to sell their goods.
Here are a few in Washtenaw County.
Argus Farm Stop
325 W. Liberty Street, Ann Arbor & 1200 Packard Road, Ann Arbor
With two locations in Ann Arbor, the farm stop has arrangements with local farmers to sell their products.
On top of the produce it already sells, Argus Farm Stop is working with the Ann Arbor Farmer’s Market to carry more foodstuffs that may not be sold otherwise.
Customers can also buy foodstuffs online and pick up their produce at each location. Deliveries by staff and volunteers will be available on Sundays and Wednesdays for those living in Ann Arbor.
Both locations will accept SNAP and Double Up Food Bucks.
Learn about placing online orders here.
Both locations will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays.
