The City of Novi Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department and the MSU Extension Tollgate Education Farm are excited to announce their partnership to host two farmers markets per week at two convenient locations for Novi residents.
The Novi All Seasons Market (formerly the Novi Farmers Market) will take place on Saturdays, May 2-October 24 between 9 am and 2 pm at the Novi Civic Center Campus located at 45175 Ten Mile Road. The mid-week market at the MSU Extension Tollgate Education Farm will begin Wednesday, June 17 and run through October 21 from 4 to 7 pm. The farm is located at 28115 Meadowbrook Road.
“The combined efforts of the City of Novi and the MSU Extension Tollgate Education Farm are providing greater opportunities for citizens to take part in a farmers market experience, which is unique and community-based, “said RoseAna Twitchell, Novi All Seasons Market Manager. “Hosting twice-a-week markets will maximize the benefits of Michigan’s growing season.”
“Consumers visit farmers markets for a myriad of reasons; from wanting the freshest possible produce, to having a relationship with the farmer that grew the food. Shopping at local farmers market reduces environmental impact, cost, and shortens the food chain; patrons can literally purchase food at its source,” added Alan Jaros, Education Director at the MSU Tollgate Farm.
