Farmers markets are the future of local food.

Our mission is, “To educate the community about healthy, locally grown food, and promoting good health.”

Lincoln Park Farmers Market, organized and coordinated by non-profit 501c3 organization Friends of Lincoln Park Farmers Market, has been in existence since 2007 and under Friends of Lincoln Park Farmers Market since 2012.

The market, at its "Mellus Park" location, site of the former historic Mellus Newspapers Building, is easily assessable for customers from Fort Street, Southfield Road as well as I-75 and I-94. There are over 59,000 households within three miles of the market. We reach over 4300 followers through our social media presence.

Our goal is to focus on healthy lifestyles to decrease/prevent heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other chronic disease by:

Promoting increased fruit & vegetable consumption
Promote physical activity
Provide nutrition learning opportunities to children ages 5 -12 through our Power of Produce “POP” Club. (Virtual in 2020 and 2021)
Provide health, nutritional information through speakers, demonstrations. Handouts and recipes.

We accept SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), Double Up Food Bucks, WIC Project Fresh and Senior Market Fresh coupons, and Credit/Debit as well. We are the only Downriver farmers market that accepts all four food assistance programs.

Farmers markets promote healthy lifestyles through better food choices, supporting local farmers and entrepreneurs, keeping them in business and creating more jobs in our communities. Farmers markets keep our hard-working communities healthy and fed through the fresh fruits, vegetables, and local foods available.
