Grandmont Rosedale neighborhoods add a locally grown farmers market

The
Grandmont Rosedale Development Corp. has created a local farmers market
to serve the neighborhood. The Northwest Detroit Farmers Market will
provide fresh fruits and vegetables from the parking lot of Bushnell
Congregational Church from 4 to 8 p.m. every Thursday.

Shoppers
will have access to vendors selling locally grown fruits and
vegetables, herbs, honey and fresh-baked bread by Detroit’s Avalon
Bakery. Several vendors sell certified-organic produce.

The
GRDC represents five neighborhoods, including Rosedale Park, North
Rosedale Park, Grandmont, Grandmont #1 and Minock Park, home to over
8,000 households. They are looking for more vendors to add to the
market.

“We’re an eclectic, funky, little neighborhood and we
want to support local growers and the local economy,” says Pam
Weinstein of the GRDC.

 The Northwest Detroit Farmers
Market will be open every Thursday through October. Bushnell
Congregation Church is at 15000 Southfield, on the northbound service
drive of the Southfield Freeway, just south of the Grand River-Fenkell
exit.
