Featured Business
The Owosso Farmers Market is a cornerstone of Downtown Owosso, bringing the community together every Saturday from May through October.
Established in 1974, the market has been part of downtown life for more than 50 years, evolving through many chapters while continuing to serve as a gathering place for farmers, makers, food producers, artisans, nonprofits, and neighbors.
Now managed by Stephen Schlaack and Assistant Market Manager Noreen Schlaack, the market offers fresh produce, baked goods, specialty foods, handmade items, and more—along with live music and family-friendly programming each week. It also serves as an important local access point for SNAP/EBT and Double Up Food Bucks programs.
More than a place to shop, the Owosso Farmers Market is a place to connect. It reflects the collaboration between vendors, volunteers, community partners, and downtown businesses who help make each Saturday morning a vibrant experience.
Visitors are encouraged to stop by, explore the market, and enjoy everything Downtown Owosso has to offer.
