When you arrive at Traverse City Tourism Building (101 W Grandview Pkwy, Traverse City, MI 49684), please use the street parking off of Garland, while the parking lot to the west of the building can be used as well. A market representative will take your name and pull your order. Please be prepared to verify that all items in your order are correct, as we cannot fix an error after you leave.
For those using food assistance programs, please be sure that you have enough cash to cover the entire order or the amount of the order your food assistance programs cannot. Please keep in mind the eligibility of products for certain food assistance programs. (i.e. EBT - all edible items, Double Up Food Bucks - only fresh fruits and vegetables).
At this time, delivery/shipping options are not available.
If for some reason you are not able to pick up your order, please contact the Market Manager (kwarner@ecoseeds.org) by 10:00 AM on Friday before the scheduled market. Any notifications past 10:00 AM customers are liable for the purchase of the order, no matter the customer type. Orders not picked up by 1:00 pm, will be donated.
