Speyer's is my current local business obsession. I discovered this Farm Market a couple of months…read moreago and have been back weekly (at least) since then to stock up on groceries. They have a bunch of homegrown produce, other local produce, flowers, pickles, local bread, cheese, eggs, etc. There is plenty of parking, things are priced great, the staff is super friendly, and there are a few adorable market cats often so you can tell them how adorable they are. I am sad that cherry season is over but I'm still stocking up on green beans, melon, plums, kale, etc!

Dong Hung lives across the street from A Dong, another local Vietnamese/Asian speciality grocery…read morestore, with Dong Hung definitely being the better of the two. While it's not an especially clean store, I don't feel unsafe buying their produce or packaged items, as I would at A Dong. They carry a very wide variety of asian groceries that would otherwise be very hard to find, particularly a lot of exotic and tropical produce and herbs that I enjoy. Perhaps the only place yet that my friend and I have been able to find Shiso herb, which we like to put in homemade sushi. However, most of the labels are in Vietnamese only, and the people working there are usually not super helpful for non-Vietnamese-speakers, mostly because of the understandable language barrier, so you might need to google what the Vietnamese word is for something you need and have a keen eye. Great selection of things that are generally rare in West Michigan, great prices, and not a horrific roach cesspool like their competitor across the street. Not to mention the name is pretty rich lololol.

I love going in and just browsing because there's so much to see. Check out the local produce, bulk snacks and treats, large deli case, meat counter, greenhouse, and more! There are always deals and sales, and I often will just pop by without a list, which is dangerous but fun. (I lead a thrilling life, I tell you what. lol) The last time Nate and I were at Kingma's, I got a pork shoulder and some delicious local Little Rooster hamburger buns to make pulled pork. The meat counter employees were helpful and friendly. We also got a beautiful potted mum from the greenhouse - they had tons of different colors and sizes, perfect for fall decor. Kingma's also houses Sparrow Coffee, a cute little coffee counter tucked away on the side of the building. There is ample parking in their designated lot, but you'll see plenty of area neighbors walking to and from Kingma's. The aisles can be a little cramped, but I think it adds to the charm. Love having this local gem near our house!

The produce always looks fresh and we have never had a poor tasting item. The meat/ seafood counter has a great selection. There's a mini cheese basket where you can try small amounts of each cheese, we've mostly paid $1-2 each for these! Definitely not a place you can complete all of your shopping but always worth going to.

I love being able to learn about local farmers, artisans, and experts in town. They offer several options to exchange funds and many of the vendors take multiple payment options. All of the vendors that I've met have been really kind and fair-priced if not sometimes cheaper than big stores. The social media accounts will often tell you what vendors will be at the market each day and I think that can be really helpful! There's free parking which is really nice but the market does get busy VERY quickly. I know the Saturday markets during the summer can be suuuper busy so I'd recommend going early or knowing you may need to walk.

Good thing they asked if I had a question! I got my answer and received my Apple. Yay! They have some stands that make coffee and breakfast and lunch items but I had already eaten. Next time I'll try some of the food stands. I walked the whole market up one side and down the other. There is a small portion that is indoors. All in all, I spent about 20-30 min there. I grabbed some baked goods and some handmade goods as well. The vendors do have bags but I recommend you bring your own. Some take cash, all take credit. There is some cover if there is rain. Parking is plentiful and free!

They should have thrown these out instead of selling food that wasn't fit and ripping people off. I also asked the lady working in the vegetable stand if their produce was organic and she stated it wasn't. I won't buy any foods from the dirty dozen list unless they are organic. I am glad she was honest about it but I am not subjecting my loved ones to the risk of cancer because of pesticide laden food. I think all growers who care about their customers would be focusing on growing foods that are free of toxic pesticides.
