Only 2 Markets left this year!!


A big Thank You to Reuben King of King’s Poultry Farm for supplying our scrumptious sample tonight at pick-up – their cheesy Chicken Dip! – and thanks to wife Ivy for making it! Yum!!

What’s awesome is it only had 3 ingredients – a can of their own Chicken, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese, plus you could add a dash of hot sauce, as liberal or safe as you prefer ;-)

New sweets from Mucci’s Sweet Treats, just in time for the Holiday season… Gingerbread Fudge! Mmmmm!

And remember our Holiday Farmer’s Market is next Tuesday Dec 10th from 4-7pm!! Be sure to enter our Door Prize drawing for a beautiful bouquet of Christmas flowers!! We’ve been admiring them at pick-up, and a lucky someone will take home a jar of these gorgeous, wooden blooms!

Either enter on our website under the MCLG category, or enter in person next week during the Holiday Farmer’s Market!!

Hope to see you there!!

How can it be Thanksgiving already?! I feel so unprepared, although my pie crusts are made and my turkey is ready! At least my priorities are in order (pie comes first for my family, with the turkey a close second!)

We have so many new products, specials, and gift ideas on the Market this week!!

Honey Creek Farm is again offering their gorgeous handmade Christmas Wreaths!! Who doesn’t need some greenery, at a great price?! Plus her Date Bars that were the Hit of last week’s Fall Farmer’s Market are now on the Market! Yay!!

McGuffey Herb and Spice Co debuts TWO new Tea Samplers – perfect stocking stuffers for the foodie, tea lover or locavore in your life (hint hint Sweetheart!) – both an herbal tea set and a black tea set (with rose hips!), for $3 off regular price!!

Michael’s Pastured Poultry has several NEW specials – 10% his Certified Organic chicken wings, and sausage sampler, plus a sale on his tasty Chorizo sausage! Wow, I can just taste some nacho dip and chili now (we get pretty hungry by the end of Market each Tuesday!)

And last but not least, 6635 StudeBaker has brought back her luscious lavender and lemon Scones! Mmmmm, Thank you Deb!!

We're Open for Orders!


Whew, what a night! Thanks to all the customers and vendors who came out and made our Fall Farmer’s Market such a successful, fun time! I love seeing everyone set up, and meeting all the new faces :-).

The Virtual Market is open for orders until 8pm Sunday!

And we’ll again be set up on December 10th for the Holiday Farmer’s Market!!

Just a heads up… We will NOT be closed this year for Thanksgiving week! We’ll stay open from now until our last Market pickup of the year on December 17th!! And we’ll be Closed for THREE weeks over the holiday season, reopening January 7th in the new year!! Can’t believe it’s time to talk about this :-)

Thank you for supporting our local Market!!!

Anyone need half a turkey?!


Had an interesting inquiry this morning – is there anyone else in the Market community interested in splitting the cost of a Thanksgiving Turkey from King’s?

We have a customer with a very small family, thus a need for only a small amount of turkey – and they thought perhaps someone else on the Market would be interested in splitting the cost of a non-GMO, local turkey with them, and having King’s split the turkey so each customer would get half?

If anyone would be interested, please let me know by emailing miamicountylocallygrown@gmail.com!

Remember you’d be picking up the FRESH turkey on Tuesday November 26th at virtual market pickup, 5-7pm!

And yes, I’ll send out a reminder for everyone who has purchased a Thanksgiving Turkey so everyone remembers to pick their’s up! That’s a tall order when many of you placed your order weeks ago!! :-)

Thanks, stay warm, and hope to see you TONIGHT at the Fall Farmer’s Market!!

Meet all your favorite vendors, 4pm to 7pm, at First Place!! 16 W. Franklin Street in Troy!!
