Started 13 years ago by Nancy Crisp, the Saline Farmers Market has grown in product offerings and availability. Saline shoppers can buy locally made products on Saturdays throughout the year and also on Tuesdays during the summer.
At the Saline Farmers Market, people can buy locally produced farm goods and crafts while chatting with friendly growers and fellow shoppers. It is now available Saturday mornings in winter as well as summer and Tuesdays from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. in summer. It began in 2000.

A new location - Liberty School - is already proving successful for the Winter Farmers Market, which has grown to over 30 vendors in its second year. Last year, David Rhoads and a handful of vendors started the Market hoping to continue the success that the summer Farmers Market had twice a week. Rhoads, who is on Saline’s City Council, enjoyed success with the first incarnation of the winter market, which has greatly expanded with the city’s backing, officials said. “Dave Rhoads started it up last year.
