Westside Farmers Market

Very disappointing. Very few sellers. The produce was expensive and not at its freshest. I had to throw out some things straight away. Maybe i went to the wrong vendors but i wouldnt recommend going

Best local food chain, tops all others in every way.

Much more handicap accessible than downtown.

Great to shop at . friendly vendors. Great produce.

Under vendor attendance, sparse

Maybe I'm a little biased because this bad boy is walking distance from my house but man--I love it. First off, it's in the afternoon and evening which is ace. Usually I'm running around Saturday mornings so it's nice to be able to hit a farmer's market later in the day and during the week. They have a nice mix of different produce as well as prepared products. It's great to get Corridor Sausage in my own backyard, love Mindo chocolate from Dexter and I'm thrilled to see them there every week. If I'm feeling like a snack Pilar's Tamales or Good Times Kettle Corn really hit the spot. The Brinary, Seedling (who I used to buy from when I lived in Chicago in their markets), and the Zingerman's creamery are all favorites. Not to mention all the beautiful fresh fruits and veggies. YES. Also--the parking lot rules. If it's too hot to bike or walk it's really nice to roll up and easily find a parking spot without having to pay a meter. It shouldn't matter but it totally does. The Saturday and Wednesday markets in Kerrytown are awesome but I for a few small items I love coming here. Popping in for a tasty eat at the Roadhouse doesn't hurt either! ;)

This Westside Farmers' Market is every Thursday from 3-7 during the summer months and is located in the Zingerman's Roadhouse parking lot on the corner of Maple and Jackson Avenues. What a find! This market is the perfect compliment to the Ann Arbor Farmers' Market on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Instead, it's in the late afternoon / early evening, which is a nice change, and has an easy location good for parking and on the west side of town. The market hosts about 20 local Michigan vendors, and Zingerman's is usually always outside sampling some kind of yummy goodness. There's a nice selection of fruits, veggies and flowers. I usually hit up this market every Thursday on my way home from work and almost never leave empty-handed. Rain or shine, the market is there.
