Garden Taste Fest and Market Place

Garden Taste Fest and Market Place operates in 19308 Whitcomb Detroit, Michigan as a dedicated space for small farms and local food businesses to sell directly to the public — no middlemen, just fresh goods.

Garden Taste Fest and Market Place is part of a national network of farmers markets that have grown substantially over the past two decades. According to USDA data, the number of registered farmers markets in the United States has expanded significantly, reflecting growing consumer demand for local, transparent food sourcing. Garden Taste Fest and Market Place contributes to that network by giving 19308 Whitcomb Detroit-area growers and food producers a reliable, recurring venue for direct sales.

For consumers, the practical benefit of shopping at Garden Taste Fest and Market Place is freshness. Produce sold at a farmers market is typically harvested within 24 to 72 hours of sale — far less time than the average transit and distribution time for produce in conventional supply chains. That shorter journey from field to table has real implications for flavor, nutritional density, and shelf life at home. Strawberries bought at Garden Taste Fest and Market Place on a Saturday morning are simply a different product from strawberries that have traveled across the country in a refrigerated truck.

The economic impact of a market like Garden Taste Fest and Market Place is also worth noting. When you spend money at Garden Taste Fest and Market Place, most of that money stays within the 19308 Whitcomb Detroit area. Small farms and food businesses that sell direct-to-consumer do not depend on wholesale distribution margins, which means a larger percentage of each sale goes back to the producer — and back into the local economy. That is a meaningful difference from shopping at a national chain retailer.
