Description
The Fort Visger CDC Farmers Market is Downriver’s first farmers market as well as Wayne County’s first Sunday farmers market. The farmers come from Wayne, Washtenaw and Monroe counties each Sunday to Lincoln Park. Although many new farmers markets have started since the Fort Visger CDC Farmers Market, the concept of a farmers market is centuries old. Lancaster Central Market in Lancaster, Pennsylvania is the countries oldest market with a founding date of 1889. Seattle, Washington’s Pike Place Market was founded in 1907. Detroit’s Eastern Market was founded in 1891.
The Fort Visger CDC Farmers Market has contributed to southeastern Michigan’s local economy. It has provided a livelihood for many farmers, specialty food vendors and crafters.
