MIFMA’s Farmers Markets at the Capitol are a staple of downtown Lansing’s summer landscape. WKAR Education and radio team will be there to hand out learning materials and books! The markets offer the smell of local floral bouquets, the sweet taste of vine-ripened produce, and so much more. Shoppers have a cornucopia of products to choose from including fresh produce, jams, jellies, baked goods, honey, maple syrup, meat, salsas, dips, pickled products, soaps, and more. Visitors can also take advantage of numerous food trucks throughout the market day parked along Capitol Avenue.
