Allen Farmers Market

We are so excited to start the summer season this week!!! You can count on the Allen Farmers Market to have live music and/or entertainment every week, craft vendors, and this summer we have more produce vendors than ever before!

To celebrate the start of the summer season this week, enjoy live music throughout the afternoon from our DJ Takeover featuring Big Sherm, DJ Dolo, Patino, and guest appearances from Ozay Moore! We will also have craft vendors Tano Studio & With Love, By Liz. Tåno Studio will be bringing nature inspired jewelry while With Love, By Liz will have catnip cat toys, framed artwork, stamped laminated prints, flower-topped pens, collages, handmade stickers & magnets. Get a gift for yourself or a friend while supporting our local artisans!

Owned by Ben and Maddy and their little ones, Linden and Aldo, Bendy Stem Farm is a small native plant nursery located near Dimondale, Michigan, rooted in a passion for sustainable landscaping and native ecosystems. Since purchasing their property in 2018, they have transformed it into a space filled with native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous perennials to build and continually expand native pollinator gardens.

What began as just a shared interest in gardening and native plants has grown into a full-time venture, with Ben stepping into the role in 2022 to help increase access to native plants for homeowners. Be sure to check them out this Wednesday at the Market!
