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!
Our Grand Opening was on August 9, 2024! We’re a market where farmers and families can mingle amidst shelves of delicious, plentiful, locally grown food—a space not just for buying food but also for growing connections, nurturing health, and fostering sustainability.
