The South Lansing Community Farmers Market was established in the Summer of 2009 by the SLCDA with the hopes of bringing farm fresh produce to a traditionally underserved community in South Lansing. Farmers markets allow consumers to have access to locally grown, farm fresh produce, enable farmers the opportunity to develop a personal relationship with their customers, and cultivate consumer loyalty with the farmers who grow the produce. Today, there are nearly 4,800 farmers markets operating throughout the nation.
