The Sunflower Market &
Gathering Space

We are excited to offer Clarkston and surrounding communities a hub for locally grown natural and organic produce, artisan goods and more (yes, we are like a year-round mini farmer’s market)!  Our market is our welcome center, an extension of our non-profit educational farm and helps to support our ongoing programming, provide a community meeting and gathering space, create opportunities to teach children about where their food comes from and connect Clarkston with locally grown produce and our amazing artisans!  When you shop at our Sunflower Market, it is a win-win, because not only are you supporting local farmers and artisans, but all proceeds go right back into supporting outdoor education for kids!  This unique farm/educational market space is yours to enjoy- come by and see what we have to offer!

​Open Regular Season Hours through Friday, Dec. 20th!

We are currently open Wednesday, Thursday & Friday from 10 am – 6 pm for our regular seasonal hours through Friday, December 20th. 

Please note that the market will be closed Thanksgiving Week, November 27-29th. 

We will close for the holidays after December 20th, and reopen on January 17th, 2025. 

During our winter season, we are open Wednesdays Only, with our Winter CSA tentatively running January 17th through April 10th.   After Winter CSA is over, we reopen with our regular seasonal hours of W-TH-F 10-6, and Spring CSA begins.

You are welcome to visit our farm during open market hours.  When visiting, please be sure to sign-in at our Sunflower Market and Welcome Center so we know you are here, and to get the latest updates on our farm happenings, and especially, our animals!

2024 Holiday Season CSA is Coming!

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs are designed to offer a partnership with your local farm. This innovative system allows members of the community to support sustainable agriculture by committing to, not only local farming, but a non-profit farm for kids!  Here at the Clarkston Family Farm, our mission is to get kids outside and educate them about the value of nature, healthy food, and sustainable farming.  Your weekly support helps our team offset the many risks that are involved in organic farming and you are able to reap the benefits of a delicious and bountiful harvest all season long!  By choosing to partner with the Clarkston Family Farm (CFF) your investment in us also supports nature-based educational experiences for kids of all ages and abilities, regardless of access to resources.  Also, a portion of our CSA program goes right back into feeding families with food insecurity. Thank you for your collaboration. You know WE DIG IT! 

This 6-week partnership runs from November 6th – December 18th.   Pickup will be at the farm Wednesdays, 11 AM – 6 PM.

*Please note that there will be no pickup Thanksgiving Week, as the market is closed November 27-29th.
