Wondering what we have planned for the day? We'll have an almost-full Market with a diverse selection of vendors selling Michigan-grown produce, vegetable transplants to get your garden started, mushrooms, pastured meat, dairy, eggs, locally-crafted food products, and handmade artisan goods!

We'll also have Gettin' Fresh food truck on site if you're hungry + want to try one of their delicious, sandwiches, salads, or soups! We hear they're rolling out some new menu items just for the occasion + they also always have a vegetarian option, and often have vegan options too!

Bringing the kiddos? We'll be sure to provide kids activities to keep your younger family members entertained.

And for those of you who are starting your own garden, we'll have the Michigan State University Extension Master Gardeners to provide SMART gardening tips, i.e. earth-friendly, sustainable practices that are grounded in research for the home garden.
