Friday Update!

There’s still plenty of time to stock up on the lamb, pork, beef & chicken that’s still available for preorders below! Busy Bee Farm has some new items, and there will also be honey & maple syrup for sale.  All the vendors attending tomorrow will also have stock available for walk up sales.

As I’m complaining to my 11 year old granddaughter about the bad weather last weekend, she (no eyes rolling) mentioned that she and her girl scout troop were out in it for 3 hours selling Girl Scout Cookies. Kudos to them (and congrats on the 280 boxes of cookies sold!) And also hopeful for no more of that kind of weather. This weekend seems to be a little less crazy but if we do get a blizzard, read the notice below!

In Case of Severe Weather: Cancellation Notice
If we need to cancel a market due to severe weather I will send out a separate email no later than Friday evening before a market notifying you that we will be closed. I will post the same message to our FB & Instagram pages as well as the website. If you know people who are regulars to the market and not in the habit of checking emails please let them know. Thanks!

Friday Update List!

Thursday, February 23, several of us from Sweetwater attended the Frauenthal theatre viewing of local filmmaker David Rucks award winning documentary The Erie Situation, about a horrific problem of CAFO induced toxic algae in Lake Erie. The local showing featured a panel with one of our farmers, Bill Bobier of Earthscape, participating. It was an excellent, troubling film and should you have a chance to view it, please do. It forces all of us to ask the question: could it happen here? To Muskegon Lake, Lake Michigan, Spring Lake? https://www.theeriesituation.com/

You still have time today to get preorders in, and if not, we’ll see you at the market!

In Case of Severe Weather: Cancellation Notice

They should be available in about 3-4 weeks. Otherwise, check out our list for all the goods. Remember: if you’d like to feed a crowd, pre-ordering is the way to get the quantity you need, and I appreciate them too! Either way, stop by and see our selection (or check out our list here: )

Monday Preorder List!

Farmers are always making hay when the sun shines, even if that means taking advantage of the winter time to attend to conferences and other personal events. That said, even though several of our farmers are gone this week, we still have plenty of food for you to preorder or just show up and purchase Saturday!

In Case of Severe Weather: Cancellation Notice
If we need to cancel a market due to severe weather I will send out a separate email no later than Friday evening before a market notifying you that we will be closed. I will post the same message to our FB & Instagram pages as well as the website. If you know people who are regulars to the market and not in the habit of checking emails please let them know. Thanks!
