Hickory Ridge Family Farm
Shetland Wool Skeins & Hand-knit mittens & gloves!
Meet the Hendrians! This is the official introduction of Will Hendrian & Hickory Ridge Family Farm. Four years ago living on 10 acres further north Will became interested in raising pastured poultry after having read Joel Salatin’s book You Can Farm. He and his father eventually traveled to the Polyface Farm in the Shenandoah Valley to visit with Salatin and see his operation for themselves. Will was convinced it was what he wanted to do; the only problem was their 10 acres was in an area of encroaching suburbs, who didn’t want a chicken farm in their midst. Moving to the Hart area just a year ago, Will jumped right in, apprenticing to the Happy Hill Farm as well as working with Bill & Patrice Bobier at Earthscape Farm. The transition of the successful poultry business begun by Gayle & Emma Filbrun of Happy Hill to the Hickory Ridge Farm has gone very smoothly, mostly because of Will’s hard work and determination, but also because of his hugely supportive family, most of whom you will probably meet at the market from time to time. The following meats are available right now:
Order your Christmas Goose Now! These freshly processed and frozen geese run between 6 to 9 lbs, and were pastured on grass and supplemented with oats grown on the nearby Earthscape Farm.

Imagination to Creation Jewelry of North Muskegon
New! This Saturday I will be bringing a variety of items to promote Breast Cancer Awareness during Breast Cancer Awareness month. I will have an assortment of jewelry, tote bags and cards. In addition, I will also be bringing back the “vintage look” jewelry line first promoted 2 weeks ago as well as other one of a kind custom made pieces.
Weiss Chiropractic Wellness Center of Spring Lake
Located in downtown Spring Lake. The center’s mission is to help the people in our community experience natural healing and wellness by coaching them to eat well, move well and to think well. The center has two chiropractors and three massage therapists. The center will be available at the market to answer health related questions, offer spinal screenings, and will provide five minute chair massages. The center will also offer 30 minute chair massage gift certificates for just $15 dollars.
Brittanie’s Thyme of Cedar Springs
With the start of the fall season, Brittanie’s Thyme will now be at the market every Saturday till the first of the year.
As many of you know, Brittanie’s Thyme became USDA Certified this summer and with this many doors are opening in our favor. One is Whole Foods Markets in the Michigan region. This event has called me to travel for awhile to help set up 3 MI stores and possibly 8 other stores, so Julia Snyder has offered to work with me and be at Sweetwater offering Brittanie’s Thyme. She will have all the items you have seen in previous months as well her own.
We are so happy to have her knowledge, understanding of our products and who we are. We want all our customer’s to know that we will always be reachable via email (www.info@brittaniesthyme.com) or by phone at 616-788-8224 if you have questions or concerns. Thank you so much Julia for helping us remain a steady part of Sweetwater!
