Ada Michigan Farm Market ~ Promotes Local Farm Produce

Tuesday was the first day of the Ada Farm Market at a new place,

Ada Reformed Community Church.  The Farm Market will run Tuesdays, 2-7 pm

from now until the end of September.  We took a video so you could see the

market for yourself. 

We found all kinds of goodies, freshly roasted coffee, chickens and other meat

available from local farmers.  Fresh strawberries, sweet cherries,lettuce, Walla-Walla

onions, radishes, and other great looking items.   Some of the farmers will sell you

a share in their crops.  You contribute a set amount and they will deliver fresh

produce to you every week all summer!!  We might look into that if our gardening

days are getting too difficult.

We came home with some freshly picked black raspberries and a King Kong Coleus.

I will definitely be back next week for some of those Walla-Walla onions and fresh

eggs from free range chickens.
