The Farmers Markets at the Capitol are a staple of downtown Lansing’s summer landscape. The market offers the smell of local floral bouquets, the sweet taste of vine-ripened produce, and so much more. Shoppers have a cornucopia of products to choose from including fresh produce, jams, jellies, baked goods, honey, maple syrup, meat, salsas, dips, pickled products, soaps and more.
