Horrock's Market in Kentwood, Michigan - A Winter Treat

Horrock's Market is like a visit to spring time, especially now, in Kentwood MI.

Take a moment and let's look at what they have to offer: Fresh Flowers, Fresh

Vegetables & Fruits, Meats & Dairy, Deli, Garden & Homes Supplies,  Pet Supplies,

Gifts & Accessories, Floral for Weddings, and a Book & Candy Corner. In the spring

& summer they have outdoor  plants and trees for your garden and yard. Worth a

visit any time of year, but especially in the dead of winter.

Horrock's Market is located at 4455 Breton Road at the intersection of 44th St and

Breton in Kentwood, Michigan.   The glass green house soars into the sky and it is

easy to spot just south of 44th Street.

The array of fresh flowers, fresh fruits and vegetables is impressive. They always have weekly

specials on some items of their produce. It is hard to resist bringing it all home, it looks so

delicious. Here are a few photos  that tell the story better than I could.

 

 

 

   Horrocks Market Vegetable Case

 

 

These exotic vegetables are always intriquing - we tried the Blue Peruvian Potatoes

on the far right - the taste was good but odd to see purply-blue potatoes on your plate. 

We skipped the edo malanga on the left, not knowing what it is and how to use it.

Maybe next time we are at Horrocks in Kentwood, after we do a little veggie research.

Terry, I love the wonderful pictures you take!  Horrocks is one of my favorite stores.  Unfortunately, I don't get to go to it as often as I'd like.

Lola: It is nice to see the flowers in bloom this time of the year. Spring is close and Horrocks  lets us smell spring a few weeks early.
