Boo!
Come celebrate the scariest holiday of the year at the Market – ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31!
It will be a scary good time!
We are an award-winning market and a trusted source of healthy, local and sustainable produce. We offer a vibrant marketplace with music and special programs that create a nourishing community connection. We are open rain or shine or snow from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays through November 7, at the Sundquist Pavilion at 33113 Grand River Ave. in downtown Farmington.
Coming to the October 25 Market
Lindsey Glasson and Aaron Brooks with their daughters at their farm in Costa Rica stand next to a truckload of native fruit trees donated by a Costa Rican company. So far they have received 600 trees they are planting to help rebuild the rainforest and biological corridor.
From Costa Rica to the Farmers Market
THIS SUMMER, the Market has gone international by adding to its roster a farm in Costa Rica that grows cacao, a nutrient-dense superfood. Its mighty combination of powerful antioxidants, essential minerals and mood-boosting support promotes heart health, brain function and overall well-being.
All that healthiness is brought to the market by the farm’s owners, Lindsey Glasson and Aaron Brooks, who manage a farm in Costa Rica and a business from their home in White Lake.
Click here to read their story and learn more about their adventure. Then come to market Saturday to meet them, asks questions, learn more about their project and sample the incredibly deep cocoa flavor of the cacao bean.
