Making a New Market in East Bay Township
April 6, 2024
A new farmers market is coming to East Bay Township this spring. Beginning May 2, 2024, the East Bay Corners Farmers Market will operate Thursdays from 3-7pm at the Township Hall at 1965 N. Three Mile Road until the close of the season on October 24. As the market gears up for its inaugural year, East Bay Township has opened applications for vendors open now through Friday, April 12. Vendors must be within the seven-county area (Grand Traverse, Antrim, Kalkaska, Wexford, Leelanau, Benzie, and Manistee counties) and sell raw agricultural products, value-add products (think baked goods, soaps, coffee), or wildcrafted/foraged items. The township is also looking for up to four food trucks to operate during market hours! Visit eastbaytwp.org/residents/food_security.php to complete an application and view all vendor guidelines.
