I particularly loved the soup bar! Salad bar looked great. Fresh produce. Canned veggies and fruit. And lots of it. LolOutside bar looked enjoyable. Tons of beer to choose from. The lovely seating outside next to pond was beautiful!

“Horrocks... A place filled with Magic and good vibes “Words like that were my son's words when he was at Horrocks this fathers Day weekend, and it's true. For some of us that have been in the area for a while, we’ve been witnesses of the magic inside this amazing place, plus how this market has been growing over the years with a great reputation intact. Not only is all of this, but it's also a pretty neat place where to go and buy it's been always an amazing experience. Thanks, Horrocks for being part of our community all these years filling our hearts with joy and great products

I feel so fortunate to have had the most amazing vacation in Michigan with my family. My boyfriend took me to this place called Horrock Farmer's Market, and I instantly fell in love at first sight. The decorations and flower bouquets they offer are so beautiful. The candy section had such a wide variety that I was in awe! Also, the fruits and vegetables are incredibly fresh. You would absolutely love it, trust me!

Every time I visit Lansing, I have to stop at Horrocks!They have so many great local, organic and world-wide goods. The flags are a nice touch and a great representation of being culturally inclusive!I picked up their pizza (about a 25 minute wait) and it was amazing! We ordered the supreme pizza, cheese bread, and buffalo chicken pizza. The staff was very kind. We ate just outside of the beer garden by a mini fire near the pond. The weather was perfect outside, even during the Fall season. There was live music ( 90’s be-kind-rewind) in the beer garden which we could still hear while being outside!Inside, I grabbed some fresh stems of eucalyptus to put in my bathroom ($1 per stem), Michigan Mustard, and some Terry’s chocolate oranges. I like the variety of products they sell - you really could stop here for most household, food & drink, and Michigan themed (the state, not the team) items. Great plant selection too during the off-season.I definitely recommend visiting Horrocks beer garden and shopping center!

wow. seriously.This place is like a farmer's market on steroids.Their sign outside says "zucchini, cherries, cucumbers...So at first, we thought it was like a local grocery store.But inside, they sell everything from local jerseys to draft beer to pizza to gelato to flowers to custom oils and balsamic and coffee. To pretty much everything you need.Absolute pleasure to be in, and to get food and groceries.Though things are more overpriced than not, so try to keep your shopping list to local fares not available elsewhere.

This place is great! You can spend the afternoon wandering around looking at all the goodies! So many things to take in! You can also snack and take an adult drink and walk around. Beer garden is a fun spot to sit &visit.

Such a creative concept! Use the greenhouses.... Sell plants... Have a wine bar and fresh produce market attached...add pizza and live music! Create a marvelous mix of fun, shopping and live entertainment as you indulge your eyes and taste buds!Cold salads available but the hot plates don't start until 8 pm. Once it's gone, it's gone and they do not refill.Business closes at 9 pm currently.Quite the experience!

Horrocks has an immense selection of produce, (everything you could think of, and some you haven't), beer, wine, spirits, domestic and imported cheeses, deli meats, international foods, bulk coffee, tea, and spices, gourmet ready to eat meals, sushi, cut flowers. . . they also have a candy counter, an olive oil and vinegar station, an olive bar, a pizza bar, a salad bar, a gelato counter, and a greenhouse. This place just goes on and on. It can get busy, and the aisles are tight, but you can get lost browsing in here.

We visited my son in the Lansing area and he suggested we visit their new favorite place, Horrocks Farm Market. From plants to foods, so many foods, they have a great offering of so many things. We spent most of our time in the groceries, looking at salsas, jams, fruits and vegetables, candy, oils, pastas, and so much more. There are a lot of bulk items, so you can grab as much or as little as you’re in need. There’s a lot to look at, and we found it helpful to break down the sections as we wandered. I can see why it’s a favorite.

Horrocks is possibly the best place to visit in Lansing and definitely one not to miss!! It is a wonderland; the store holds many surprises, and it just keeps going and going. When you think you’ve reached the end, you have not, just keep going. Their fruits and vegetables are always fresh and delicious. They have so many unique and interesting items. I love that you can purchase alcohol and walk around the store and drink it while shopping. Also, the included Iorio's custard bar is always fun to stop at. The double sided soup bar is amazing and always has great soups to try. You can get everything at the store from fresh cheeses, frozen seafood, jams, jellies, pickled items, herbs, nuts, wine, beer, there’s even a Paleo food item aisle, as well as a taffy wall, gummy candy section and popcorn bar. It is also a greenhouse, therefore, there are many plants and gardening supplies available, as well as bird seed, grass seed, etc. The flavored balsamic and olive oil section near the coffee area is also fantastic. I also love that you can order a pizza and go out to the Beer Garden and eat it in the beautiful greenhouse area overlooking the mini pond. They also always have a food truck on premises, and in the winter time a stage and live bands in the beer garden. don’t miss out on visiting this magical wonderland.

This place has every specialty food under the sun. I picked up a beautiful locally grown orange cauliflower that I’m making with dinner tonight. They also have a wide selection of hard to find drinks, including mead. There is a fresh salad bar, an antipasto bar, and even a soup bar. The cheese selection is amazing. I would make a trip out of town to visit this place if I were you. You won’t regret it.. I promise!

Large market filled with unique food fines. International and local goods. Everything from fresh meat to the sauces to stew it in. A lot of healthy choices. Beautiful flowers and a country feel make this place a fun place to check out. If you're a wine or beer connoisseur, you will enjoy the selection here.

This place is amazing!! I work in Flint and even people there talk about going. They have just about everything you could want food wise and even more. The candy section is a favorite of my kids. There's produce, groceries, salad and soup bar, dozens of flavored coffee beans, flavored popcorn, chocolates, deserts, organic and healthy snacks, vegetables, herbs, jams, nuts, plants, flowers, garden supplies, pet supplies, pizza.... too many things to list in one post. See videos for an idea of all they have!

I entered in the west entrance. Staff ignored me after making eye contact. Staff in the produce section were helpful. Found duck and quail eggs in the dairy frig. I like using the Creamline milk to make soft cheeses. I checked out at the east entrance. The staff there was friendly.

This is a Country Store Disneyland. You've Gotta See This Place! Everything under the sun, freshest produce, remarkably from all over the world; The largest selection of everything including beers, wines, confections, meats, cheeses and outside pavilions with bier gardens, stage entertainment, pizzeria, food trucks (as if you need them) but above all the produce. Takes hours to see it all and each aisle will leave you WOWWED!

This place is on my top five places to go in Lansing and in Spring, it's numero uno. Every spring, I go two of three times for flowers and plants. They have the best selection I've seen. I just bought two beautiful baskets for Mother's Day gifts. I don't go to the casino, I go to Horrock's! At least I have something to show for it when I leave! 😄 My boxes and pots were planted last week but will be full and beautiful in a few weeks. I'm adding some updates of how my baskets are doing now.

We would shop here weekly if we lived nearby! There is so much selection. We stopped to "sample" beer and wine and ordered pizza for lunch while shopping. Flowers, amazing, cheeses, amazing, seeds, plants, flowers, desserts, meats, beer wine. Wow! Gelato is delicioso!

This place is massive and super fancy, they have just about everything you can think of the even have a salad bar, a massive floral and liquor section

Really glad to finally check out this farmer's market. Not only they have lots of usual fresh products to pick from, there are also many exotic items that you don't usually see in the regular market. Will be back again.A warning on the pizza if you are planning to do a quick meal while checking out this market: the wait on Friday night can easily take up 45-60 mins (small kitchen, I supposed). Either put in the order as soon as you arrive and check out the market while you wait, or make other dinner plan nearby.

Horrocks is an amazing place. This is hands down the best place to shop for produce in all of the Lansing area. They have a little bit of everything there. If you can't find it at Horrocks then good luck. Love this place.
