Check out our most recent video, created by Burch Partners in collaboration with Ottawa Food. Double Up Food Bucks are accepted at both the Grand Haven and Spring Lake Market. If you’re a Bridge Card user, you can double your spending power! Find out how.
Grand Haven Market and the Spring Lake Farm & Garden Market are managed by The Chamber of Commerce Grand Haven, Spring Lake, Ferrysburg to provide farmers and small business owners an opportunity to sell their fresh, Michigan grown and/or produced foods directly to customers. The Market will act as the community gathering place to educate and encourage healthy living within our communities.
Please be courteous – dogs and smoking are prohibited at both Markets.
