The New Baltimore Farmers Market is Growing and Changing!
The New Baltimore Farmers Market is an independent market. And while we are not part of the City of New Baltimore or the DDA, we value and rely on the relationships we have established with city departments, officials, and employees. We will continue to grow and provide the best market to our community that we can. We thank the city for it's continued support.
Where Are We?
The City of New Baltimore is located in the northeast corner of Macomb County, bordering beautiful Anchor Bay located on the coastline of Lake St. Clair. The City is approximately 30 minutes northeast of downtown Detroit, Michigan.
The New Baltimore Farmers Market is located within the heart of the city on Washington Street
between Main and Front Streets.
We are right off I-94 East: take exit 247 (New Haven exit), turn right onto Washington Street, and follow the road until you reach New Baltimore. The market will be near the park on your left!
The New Baltimore Farmers Market Proudly Accepts the
Michigan Bridge Card/SNAP/EBT....see SNAP page for more details....
