I picked up peaches by the pound, and I also saw lots of potatoes, peas in pods, onions, raspberries, and sunflowers. Prices were very reasonable and comparable to what's offered in West Michigan. When I was there, I got a whiff of something baking in the oven and perused the bakery and Mooville ice cream. The smell was more enticing than what I saw displayed. Still, I was glad to see the homemade breads, pies, and cookies. Do I imagine I'll be swinging by again anytime soon? No. Am I glad it's there in case I find myself in another emergency peach situation? Yes, yes I do.

If you are expecting pomp and circumstance, this is not your place, but if you are looking for a local farm where you can pick berries, your kids can play outside, and you can pick up some of the freshest fruits possible, this is your place. We came in and the pies were baking and OMG they smelled amazing. Donuts, ice cream and fresh pies. Someone said the pies were $27? Nope, it was $12. We bought an apple pie to take home. Right off the highway and reminds me of the south haven of old.

I thought it was charming that they had a self serve, bakery filled with things like apple cider donuts and a variety of cookies. The staff was all very friendly and the entire setting oozed fall energy. They offer a soup of the day, a variety of produce, regional alcohol, and some baked treats. The bathroom was also very clean.

For starters, there were lots of treats + coffee + food options aside from just produce, which is an easy way to pull a lot of people in. Nice local vendors as well, including one I have to shoutout here: ToadWorks Art. Not only was the vendor friendly, she made these cute little hand-painted frogs that my girls loved as souvenirs. My oldest left hers behind in the rental car on accident, and I messaged this biz owner and she sent me another one! Above and beyond. Additionally, there was good produce here, especially the berries. We even pieced together ingredients for an AirBNB meal: fresh pasta, tomatoes and basil for sauce, garlic, onions and green beans. It's conveniently in the heart of this small downtown, easy to access and easy to park. Loved the whole vibe here.

Inside you'll find all sorts of yummy fresh fruit and veggies based on the season. Their blueberries are delicious! Along with fresh foodies, you can pick your own blueberries if you'd like or grab a jar of one of their homemade concoctions. It was hard not to spend a ton of money on all their jams, preserves, salsas, mustards, bbq sauces.. you name it! My last visit I grabbed 3 jars, Honey Habanero Mustard, Apple Chipotle BBQ sauce, and Hot Pepper Relish.

Parking was surprisingly easy, and once we got started, it was a block and a half of a good time. Now, we did not buy much, but we did enjoy seeing everything and talking to a few people. We were especially excited to buy fruit directly from the farmers! I got a bunch of peaches and nectarines, and let me say I have never in my life tasted such good fruit! I also tried the homemade strawberry & rhubarb pie, and bought the homemade honey with cinnamon. I also especially liked how the Farmer's Market overlooked Silver Beach. It was a nice time, and I look forward to going back before the Farmer's Market season ends this year!

Whatever you're looking for, the St. Joe farmers market is a great summer staple that allows you to buy fresh food and enjoy the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan.  If you're here on a Saturday in the summer or early fall, I would definitely try to stop by.
