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.
