Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation kicked off the Northwest Detroit Farmers Market last week. The market will be held every Thursday from 4 to 8 pm through October.
The market features produce, baked goods, crafts, hand-blended teas, honey and organic eggs. GRDC special projects coordinator Pam Weinstein is excited about the number and diversity of the vendors including, new this year, one selling perennials.
The market is held in the south parking lot of the Bushnell Congregational Church, located at 15000 Southfield Service Drive just south of Grand River.
Other local farmers markets include:
- Hamtramck: Fourth Saturday of the month through October from 9 am to 2 pm at Caniff and McDougall;
- Corktown: Second Saturday of each month through October from 10 am to 2 pm in front of Michigan Central Station;
- Highland Park: every Saturday in August and September from 10 am to 2 pm, on Victor Street between Woodward Avenue & John R.
More information about locally-grown agriculture and neighborhood farmers markets can be found at the Garden Resource Program Collaborative's website.
