Farmers market
Just visited the FM for the first time in quite a few years. When did it become 70% food and 30% retail? I was a little dismayed that there weren't more food vendors.

"We photographed a wedding at the ROFM recently and loved it. It offered a unique vibe that we haven't experienced anywhere else. Guests enjoyed themselves, many stayed until the end, some partied outside with an impromptu sing-along with the piano after the official party stopped...needless to say, it was an awesome wedding. Royal Oak offers a lot of backdrops for photos as well, all within walking distance of the ROFM. If you are looking for a welcoming spot for a stress-free wedding, teh Royal Oak Farmer's Market is right for you."

"Nostalgic stop on my trips home to Michigan, but sure has changed over the years. Disappointed they now allow dogs as that's all you heard was dogs barking at other dogs, there's fresh food involved.. we were kicked out years ago for bringing our Beagle and now here we are"
Stacey Castle
"Love the vendor selection and layout. Most vendors are inside. Seating options (if you get a pastry, coffee or smoothie) and bathroom is clean. Parking is close and free. Get there early, bring cash (although many take credit cards now) and your own bags. Be prepared to be wow'd!!!"
