Press Release 5/20/2008

The Old-Fashioned tailgate style market will feature fresh products from local farms from Benzie and surrounding counties.

 

The Frankfort Farmers Market is a very unique and special situation.  The Market area is immediately adjacent to Parking, and near the Boat Launch, Library, Open Green Space, Marina, Playground, Picnic Pavilion, Lighthouse, Piers, Beaches, and other shopping and restaurants.

The market will run on Saturdays into late September as long as the weather holds out.

 

 There is plenty of space available for all local farmers who want to come and sell their farm’s products. We will have immediate room for at least 30-40 farms and can expand to 100 if necessary although we may be starting with just a few because of the earliness of the season.
