Friday Fresh Update List!
Sweetwater Local Foods Market
Drive Through & Walk In Pre-Order Market
Saturday, May 8th, 2021
Limited One Hour Market: 10:00am to 11:00am
Mercy Health Lakes Village
6401 Harvey St. at US31/Pontaluna Rd.
For this Friday Update, a couple of things to mention. First, don’t forget Moms Day is Sunday! Myself, I’m giving special thanks to all the home quarantined Moms who tackled both work & children this last year – whew! Second, the latest news coming from both CDC & Michigan is showing good progress with declining new cases of Covid & vaccination rates at 44% nationwide for adults having at least one shot, but at 28% here in Muskegon County we have to do better! And even though the restrictions are loosening on outdoor masks, we’ll still be masking up during the market until we hear differently.
Again, with the addition of Park & Walk-In we hope you’ll take a look at the map below and approach the market cautiously & have patience while we adjust to the new layout.
Below you will find items new & still available for preorder, along with deadlines for those orders. You can add to an existing order or put in a new one! Please note the time deadlines of each vendor and contact them as soon as possible.
Payment is the same: online when you preorder, or cash/check at time of pickup.
NOTE: If you are new to Sweetwater, please see instructions at the bottom of this newsletter for more info on How to Order & Pick Up at Market
Thanks!

Blackbird Farms
Coopersville, Michigan
We’re back this week with a variety of herb, flower, and vegetable plants for your garden!
Due to capacity issues, we will be doing **walk-up sales only** for our plant sales at Sweetwater this May (payment via cash, check, or credit card). That said, we fully understand that not everyone is able, willing, or ready for in-person connection at the market yet, and we want to make sure that we are able to serve these individuals as well. The best way for us to do that is via pre-orders that can be **picked up, contact-free, at our farm in Coopersville** at a mutually convenient time in May. For more information on this option, please e-mail us at hello.blackbirdfarms@gmail.com, and we will send you the link to our online order form. We understand that this may not be ideal, but we do appreciate your patience as we navigate a busy month ahead with limited staff, time, and resources. 🙂
Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to see you at Sweetwater this Saturday!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR How to Pre-Order (for both Drive Through & Park & Walk-in)
1. Look over the list. Each vendor has a unique deadline for when they need to receive your pre-order depending on their product. Send your pre-order by email to each vendor you want to order from, within their required deadlines.
2. Vendors will respond back by no later than Friday before market day with an order confirmation and an invoice that in most cases will allow you to pre-pay for your order. If a vendor is not set up to take payment online they will accept checks (preferred) or cash in a sealed envelope on market day pickup.
3. Market Day for Park & Walk-in. Please see the map for where you will need to park and enter the market space. You may pick up your pre-orders from each vendor & purchase from additional vendors who have extra products.
4. Market Day For Drive Through Pre-Orders: Please see the market map with arrows indicating which way you should plan to approach the market. You are basically going to come in to the market the same way as before and then circle the perimeter of the vendor area, exiting the same way you come in. We will also have signs to help point you in the right direction.
5. (Drive Through) Using a sheet of paper at least 8.5 x 11, please list all of the vendors you have orders with in black marker (or something as visible), large enough for vendors to see it clearly. Please put your first & last name at the top of the list. Tape or hold up the list to the side window or front windshield where it will be most visible.
6. Have your trunk, or designated area of your car ready to receive your goods. A cooler is suggested for refrigerated & frozen items.
7. As you are driving through, each vendor will bring your order to your vehicle and place it in the trunk or other designated space, and collect payment if you have not paid in advance. Again, please have checks (preferred) or cash in a sealed envelope with your name and the name of the vendor on the outside of it.
