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!

Horrocks Market, Lansing, Michigan…read more WHOA! This place is HUGE! We walked into Horrocks Market expecting a market, and what we found was practically a small city devoted to food, flowers, gardening, and just about anything else you can imagine. The variety is incredible. Fresh produce, prepared foods, a bakery, flowers (including some gorgeous exotic varieties), gardening supplies, paper goods, wind chimes, specialty items, and so much more. You can wander around for ages and still discover something you missed. I even counted the soups, and they had around 36 different varieties available to take home or enjoy there. THIRTY-SIX! At that point, choosing a soup becomes a serious life decision. There is also plenty to tempt your taste buds, with freshly prepared food and all kinds of goodies. The popcorn-making area caught our attention, and the popcorn looked wonderful. The only catch? You had to buy a gigantic bag for about $8. We were a group of four, not a family preparing for winter hibernation, so we passed. The cinnamon rolls looked equally tempting, very much in the Cinnabon style, but at around $9 for one, we decided that our sweet tooth could survive without one. Coming from the Chicago area, I found many of the prices surprisingly high. There is certainly a lot to choose from, but your wallet may need a little pep talk before you go shopping! One of the nicest surprises was the atmosphere on Friday. There was a live band playing, and lots of people had gathered to listen. The music was free, and you could grab a beer, a glass of wine, or another drink and simply sit back and enjoy the scene. It was a fun, lively atmosphere, although the music was a little loud for casual conversation. What impressed me most was the sheer variety. This isn't just a place to buy groceries. It's somewhere to explore, browse, grab a bite, admire the flowers, discover unusual products, and enjoy a little entertainment along the way. My advice? Definitely visit, but go for the experience rather than planning to fill your shopping cart. There is so much to see and enjoy, even if you decide to keep your wallet firmly in your pocket. Horrocks Market is an experience all on its own. Come curious, leave yourself plenty of time to explore, and don't say I didn't warn you about the size of the place!

The driver always unloads exactly where I ask him to and everyone is always very nice. I love that they are a family run business and that they always take the time to make sure my little friends can watch. (it is so exciting for them!) Their sand and wood chips are good quality and competitively priced. The delivery fee is worth the convenience for me, especially when I need several yards. The only down side is I can't order both at once as the truck can only hold 1 or the other. So I alternate every year.

The website has some great history of the business as well as some fun historic photos. Nate and I stopped in recently to check out their planters and hanging baskets and were happily surprised to see that the hanging baskets were on sale. We paid about $50 for two, which is what we paid for one (larger) basket at another local greenhouse recently. The store is full of everything you could ever need for gardening and landscaping. They have so many plants and flowers! I wish they had some better signage / information as we had to ask which items would be best for shade vs sun etc. I have seen other greenhouses that indicate which plants are native and other information that's helpful. We were only there for a short visit so I didn't explore too much. They have a lot of patio furniture here as well, and looked like some sales going on. When we're in the market for new outdoor furniture, this will be my first stop. There is a handy checkout outside near the garden center. The employees we interacted with were all polite and friendly.

This year, my lawn got pretty brown and I could no longer keep up with watering it. I found this business on Yelp and decided to give it a shot; best decision I could have made. Not only did I get a response quickly, but the work was able to be done sooner than any other landscaping company I talked to by a considerable amount. I got an irrigation/sprinkler system installed and now watering my lawn is merely an afterthought. In addition, I had a flower bed put in the front of my house and it looks awesome. Curt is a hard working and down to earth guy. I was very happy to give him my business and will continue to do so. He puts in the time and effort needed to deliver with quality. Curt now mows my lawn regularly and even treats it when needed. I could not be happier with his services and I highly recommend him to anyone for their lawn and landscaping needs.
