friends of the market
Join us in creating inclusive, accessible, and vibrant local food spaces.
Friends of the Market is how you can directly support Ypsilanti Farmers Markets.
​
Growing Hope’s Ypsilanti Farmers Markets are vibrant community spaces where fresh, locally grown food connects directly with the people who need it most. Open to all, the markets bring together regional farmers, food entrepreneurs, and community members to create a welcoming place to shop, learn, and gather.​
ways to support
Beyond being a marketplace, the farmers markets serve as a hub for community health and connection. Becoming a sponsor helps ensure food access, supports small farmers, and strengthens community connection.

gather & Give
A simple way to turn your farmers market visit into something bigger. Gather & Give invites our community to support one another through small, meaningful acts like rounding up a purchase, donating tokens, or contributing to seasonal drives.
Together, we’re building a market rooted in care, connection, and shared abundance.

volunteer at the market
Volunteers play an important role in helping the Ypsilanti Farmers Markets run smoothly each week. From assisting with setup and teardown to supporting special events, surveys, and market activities, volunteers help create a welcoming space for our community to gather and access fresh local food.
