The Healthy Oakland Partnership (HOP) encourages Oakland County residents to participate in their annual Family Market Day events this summer. Coupons for locally grown produce worth $5 each are available to residents with a State of Michigan Bridge/EBT card or who are enrolled in Oakland County Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
“Family Market Day links residents to locally grown Michigan produce and encourages healthy eating,” said Kate Guzman, health officer at Oakland County Health Division. “If you’ve never purchased fresh, local produce before, this is a great opportunity to try shopping at a Farmer’s Market.”
Family Market Day events will occur on the following dates:
• Saturday, July 19, at the Oakland County Farmers Market, 2350 Pontiac Lake Road, Waterford, from 8 a.m. - 1 p.m.
• Thursday, July 24, at the Oak Park Farmers Market, 14300 Oak Park Blvd., Oak Park, from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Coupons are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and must be used during the event. Coupon distribution ends 30 minutes prior to the market’s closing. No registration is necessary.
In addition to $5 coupons for produce, resources and a variety of activities for families will be available. The Family Market Day at Oakland County Farmers Market will include inflatables and yard games for families and Family Market Day at Oak Park Farmers Market will include cooking demonstrations, face-painting and a petting zoo.
Family Market Days are made possible in part by Ageways, Blue Cross Complete of Michigan, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Henry Ford West Bloomfield, and Trinity Health.

Healthy Oakland Partnership (HOP) was launched by Oakland County Health Division in 2009 as a collaboration of local government, hospitals, health care providers, community-based organizations, businesses, and citizens working to increase and promote healthy eating and physical activity opportunities.
HOP began hosting Family Market Days in 2009 to engage entire families in healthy eating practices and encourage physical activity. The partnership expanded to include older adults in 2017 by hosting Senior Market Days.
