The nonprofit that owns the Flint Farmers’ Market plans to enclose about a third of its outdoor vendor stalls to create two year-round commercial spaces. Construction is starting this month. These new spaces will include a Spartan Dairy Store serving MSU-made ice cream and a new restaurant with an outdoor patio. Both are expected to operate starting June 2027.
