*The Allen Street Farmers Market can be found during the outdoor season on the corner of E. Kalamazoo and Allen St in Lansing, just west of Allen Neighborhood Center (1619 E.

Wednesday, July 9 2:30 - 7:00 pm The variety of produce on offer is growing with each passing week, and this Wednesday, tomatoes, cucumbers, and raspberries are just a few of the new additions our vendors plan on bringing! We can be your one-stop-shop for groceries, with cheese from Hickory Knoll Farms Creamery, beef, pork, or chicken from Olmsted Piedmontese Beef, bread from Stone Circle Bakehouse, and eggs from a number of our vendors! If you're looking for a bite to eat or a refreshing drink, stop by Tannin, Ofilia's, Strange Matter Coffee Company (it's her last week at the market!), or Red's Smokehouse (inside Allen Market Place). The Jordan Vale Quartet will perform from 4-6.   * Want to show your ASFM love? Become a member of our Yard Sign Corps!

No worries! Visit our Market Bank where you can use your debit or credit card to get the amount you need to make your purchases in Market Money Tokens, worth $5 each. All of our vendors accept these and they are used just like cash. For example: if you buy a $4 item from a vendor with one Market Money Token, they will simply give you a $1 back in cash. Don't worry about having to run to the ATM before coming to the market! Similarly, EBT cards can be used to purchase EBT tokens, worth $1 each. With EBT tokens, however, you cannot buy something for  $1.50 with 2 EBT tokens and get .50 back in change - you would need to use .50 of your own change. Questions? Just stop by the bank table and our friendly banker, Aris, will be happy to help!   See you at the Market!
