Plants Fruit Veggies and more! Farmers Markets GALORE!
It’s no secret that I love summer; especially here in Michigan. One of my favorite things to do is cook with fresh produce. I scour cookbooks and the web for new tasty recipes.
So, of course, I love going to the Farmers Markets. I am supporting local growers and feeding my family healthy meals. Usually I will go on Wednesdays or Saturdays, and have a map planned out to hit all the local markets.
Albion, Athens, Battle Creek, Homer, Marshall and Springfield all have a weekly farmers market. I go to each place with a list of items I need, and always leave with more than intended. So that you too can enjoy these markets, check out the times and days below!
