2025 INDOOR ALLEN FARMERS MARKET SEASON
No matter if it’s Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter, the Allen Farmers Market ensures our community has access to fresh and local produce, baked goods, and diverse food offerings no matter what!
From November 2024 – May 7, 2025, you can find our food vendors inside the Greatroom, located at 1629 E Kalamazoo St, through the double doors at the North side of the building.
Count on the Allen Farmers Market for fresh produce from mid-Michigan farms, the highest quality meat, artisan baked breads, gluten-free goods, eggs, and more. It’s more important than ever to buy your groceries from local sources. Our supply chains for food are vulnerable and your support of the local food system helps strengthen it, while ensuring quality in taste.
All of our vendors accept cash transactions, or you can visit our Market Bank to swipe a debit/credit card or SNAP/EBT card to spend at the select vendors. We do provide Double Up Food Bucks for folks that use a SNAP/EBT card and match up to $20 per market visit. Fun fact, in 2005, the Allen Farmers Market became the first farmers market in Michigan to accept SNAP/EBT.
Our market has always supported local, good food, but also has strong roots in having fun and providing a sense of place and belonging. We hope you will make it a habit to stop by the Allen Farmers Market on Wednesdays between 3 – 6:30PM and find community at the Market.
Are you interested in becoming a vendor at our Market? We are always accepting applications. Please contact Market Manager, Jenny at (517) 999-3911 or email jennyw@allenneighborhoodcenter.org.

Our History
Our first market season in 2004 was just 10 weeks long, featuring 4 female farmers. In 2005, we became the first market in Michigan to accept EBT/SNAP food assistance! We have increased our accessibility to our widely diverse neighbors by accepting a variety of payment options, including SNAP/EBT, year-round Double Up Food Bucks, WIC and Market Fresh coupons, and credit/debit cards.
Allen Farmers Market has grown into a thriving weekly market that provides our neighborhood with access to fresh produce and other delicious products, a convivial atmosphere to visit with neighbors, and opportunities to engage with each other and share diverse resources and perspectives.
