Greetings all –
This week we will have lots of amazing produce and products at the market!
A couple fun recognition moments for the market this past week:
- Our very own spokes model for Hankra Jewel, Miss Stacy Murray, won BEST JAZZ VOCALIST at the Detroit Jazz Festival last week! Be sure to come out and congratulate her on such an award.
- The Lucy Ann Lance Show graciously hosted me for a little plug for the market – the sound byte is here. I missed giving a BIG shout out to the 5HF for providing a grant to the market every year – they help do so much for our market and for that I am extra grateful!
This coming Saturday there will be Yoga on the Lawn from 7-8am. Don’t miss a gentle practice for all ages with miss Sue.
And let me know if you are interested in purchasing tickets for our 5 Healthy Towns Fabulous Feast on September 22! It is a delicious fundraiser to drum up dollars for all the 5 Healthy Towns farmers markets! Tickets can also be purchased via eventbrite.
Market details this week are as follows:
When: every Wednesday from 1-5pm through the end of October (we then move indoor to the Washington St. Education Center for November and December!)
Where: Corner of M52 and Old US 12. There is plenty of parking near the businesses on the south side. Please keep the north spaces and those closest to the bank open for bank patrons.
Who: Lovely humans working to steward healthy community!
**GOOD TIMES KETTLE CORN: Kettle corn in three different sizes! Delicious.
BILL WEBER: gorgeous wood worked goods. Don’t miss this man’s craftsmanship!
LAVENDER AND HONEY: For REAL this time (I thought she was coming last week) amazing body care products made with local and organic ingredients. Lip balms, deodorants, salve, bug spray and more!
KAPNICK ORCHARD: BERRIES!, first of the apples, nut butters, sweet breads, treats and more.

JAM MAN: with great sadness we will lose Brian until September. His garden calls and the demand of two markets is too much. Look for him at the Coldwater Farmers Market.
HANKRA JEWEL: gorgeous hand made silver and copper wearable and wall art!
