So, hope your ready for a great summer, and all that the Farmers Market has to offer.

Markets were allowed and even encouraged to remain open during the 'stay home, stay safe' orders, and that’s because of the critical role they play in the food system,” Michigan Farmers Market Association Communications Manager Hailey Lamb said. Steve Grose of Green Eagle Farm in Onondaga said their 2020 farmers market season was their “best sales year ever, really.

 

I am sure you're  ready, as I am, to shop for local food, and of course do it in the great outdoors with all the fresh air.
