About the Events
MIFMA’s 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. Visitors can also take advantage of numerous food trucks throughout the market day parked along Capitol Avenue.
The market accepts Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) Bridge Cards, Double Up Food Bucks, and Senior Market FRESH. MIFMA is committed to ensuring that all Michigan residents have access to the fresh, local fruits, vegetables and other food products sold at the market.
