Business Description
Official Facebook Page for: Farmer's Market - Eastpointe, MI
Farmers markets are one of the oldest forms of direct marketing by small farmers. In a farmers market, a group of farmers sell their products once or twice a month at a designated public place like a park or parking lot. Their size ranges from a few stalls to several city blocks. Some farmers markets have live entertainment.
Farmers markets exist worldwide and reflect their area's culture and economy. From the traditional "mercados" in the Peruvian Andes to the unique street markets in Asia, growers all over the world gather weekly to sell their produce directly to the public.
In the last decade they have become a favorite marketing method for many farmers throughout the United States, and a weekly ritual for many shoppers.
Such markets were commonplace before the Industrial age but most were replaced in modernized cities with grocery stores and supermarkets that sell food that is usually produced, packaged, and shipped from remote places.
Farmers markets often feature produce grown naturally or organically, meats that are raised humanely on pasture, handmade farmstead cheeses, eggs and poultry from free-range fowl, as well as heirloom produce and heritage breeds of meat and fowl.
Produce found at Farmers Markets is renowned for being locally grown and very fresh. People argue farmers markets allow farmers to pick produce at the peak of flavor, preserve the nutritional content of fresh produce, and since locally grown produce does not travel as far to get to your table, the difference in mileage saves fossil fuels.
Shopping at a farmers market is a great way to meet local farmers and get fresh, flavorful produce.
