Rooted in Community Cultivating Connections

Your neighborhood food hub is open and serving neighbors!

Lively NeighborFood Market

Our mission is to grow the local food economy right here in Southwest Leelanau County. We're supporting and highlighting a connection between the customer and the farmer and improving access to locally grown, healthy food.

SNAP-GAP Sign

Neighbors Helping Neighbors

We are all impacted by the federal government’s handling of food assistance, whether it affects us directly or our neighbors. Hundreds in our area are facing hardship due to the holdback of SNAP benefits.

Join us to support our neighbors as we launch SNAP-GAP for Neighbors to help provide food assistance during this crisis. Learn more about how to receive assistance or donate to this local cause.

Farm and Food Vendor Partners

We are partnering with as many neighboring farms and food vendors as possible, following our mission to work with our neighbors first. Look at the farms and food vendors already selling their wares at Lively NeighborFood Market.

We are actively seeking to grow this list so that we can offer the best of Leelanau and Grand Traverse Counties at our store. Please apply here if you would like to join us as a vendor. Contact us or share our website if you know of other vendors who should be in the market!
