PHOTOS: A visit to the new Eastern Market location
We sent photographer Steve Koss along to check out the new site in Pontiac bringing the beloved market to the 'burbs.
Detroit’s beloved Eastern Market is making an appearance in Oakland County.Â
Open every Thursday, July 11 to October 31 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., stalls in front of the McLaren Oakland Corporate Building in downtown Pontiac will offer a variety of fresh locally sourced produce.
The largest outdoor farmers market in the nation, Eastern Market was founded in 1841, moving to its present site in Detroit in 1891. It is a large hub for the Michigan food industry with farmers, retailers, wholesalers and vendors.
Now, a satellite hub in Pontiac is set to bring a taste to Saginaw Street.
