Happy Birthday Jeanette - 100 years and going strong!
CELEBRATE!
Michigan’s oldest farmers market vendor and
Sweetwater Local Foods Market celebrate birthdays
with special “Pasture-Raised Local Meat”
On Saturday, July 3rd the Sweetwater Local Foods Market celebrates its 5th Birthday (since founding in 2005) with the opening of month-long “Pasture-Raised Local Meat” sale. The sale will begin with cake and music in celebration of the 100th birthday of our official “Queen of the Market” – Jeanette Keiser of Marne.
“Our market’s farmers sell a great variety of meats produced from animals raised gently on pasture and according to organic principles,” said Market Market Diana Jancek. “Their beef, pork, lamb, and poultry has no equal in Michigan. It is what really sets our market apart. We even have goat meat.”
Samples of Nathan Creswick’s sausages will be grilled between 11am and 12 noon on Saturday, July 3rd. “Creswick’s sausages are famous locally for their excellent flavor and high quality,” continued Jancek. “Nathan lives to make great lamb, pork and beef sausage. His Braunschweiger is so good that we have to warn people not to get addicted.”
Other Sweetwater Market meat vendors include Earthscape Farm, Liberty Family Farm, and Hickory Ridge Family Farm. All raise their animals on pasture using no GMO feed, antibiotics or hormones. “This is the best meat in Michigan,” said Jancek.
Stop by the Agriculture & Health Alive booth anytime during the market and wish Jeanette Keiser a happy 100th birthday and have a piece of birthday cake with her. Live birthday music will be provided by the Front Porch Pickers.
For more information contact Diana Jancek at 231-893-3937 or 231-670-4817 (mobile). Email her at dijaan@charter.net. For more information and directions to the market visit our website at…

New Hampshire based Ukulele Player and Songwriter Aaron Lee is touring to support the release of his new album titled The Ukulele Project, which includes 14 original tracks that all creatively and intentionally feature the word ‘ukulele’ somewhere in the lyrics. In the studio, Lee is joined by the talents of Jeff Bartolini on acoustic bass and Jeff Marion on Piano and Organ. He currently performs both as a solo act and with his trio.
The record, titled The Ukulele Project takes us on a journey, stopping everywhere from the Androscoggin River in Maine, to the Andes Mountains in South America and everywhere in between. Aaron introduces Kaylee Ukulele, who likes to “sit between the dunes and play her ukulele”, proclaims that Arkansas should be known as “the ukulele state” and lets us know what happens if you break his ukulele. We are invited to begin our day by waking up with a ukulele, dance a ukulele waltz, and finish our day with a ukulele lullaby. The record is guaranteed to make you laugh and will leave you with a smile on your face and a ukulele song in your head.

Bee & Botanical of Spring Lake
New this week! I now have an assortment of Michigan beeswax candles for Sweetwater Market from Swarm Naturals. These candles are made with 100% pure beeswax and 100% cotton wicks. They not only have that nice natural honey scent but they are the cleanest and brightest burning candles on the market. Because beeswax has a very high melting point, they also burn slower, lasting longer.
Also new this week: Lip Balms! Unflavored, peppermint and grapefruit, made with moisturizing oils, Michigan beeswax and the finest organic essential oils for flavoring.
I will also have a full assortment of our Certified Organic Soap including our newest Rows & Furrows Garden Soap, Quietude bath Tea, and pretty lavender sachet gifts for Mom!
Look forward to seeing you at the market!
