Summary

The Beaver Island Farmers Market was announced for Thursday mornings in June 2018 at Paradise Bay Cafe, across from the Township Airport, and later notices document its continuation into August and a September move to the four corners near Daddy Frank’s, with a 3–5 p.m. schedule. Notices invited vendors of food, plants, and other homegrown or homemade goods. The organizer announced October 4 as the final 2018 market date.

Evidence limits

The forum preserves organizer and vendor announcements. It does not establish attendance, sales, health compliance, or the full 2018 season schedule.
