Recently, a family member told me about this fantastic Farm Market in Lansing. As many times I have…read morebeen in the Lansing and East Lansing area, I had not heard of Horrocks. Gosh, I didn't know what I was missing. This is a true IYKYK! Once you have visited Horrocks, you will return for life. This is a magnificent, rustic, unique, expansive establishment that offers a cornucopia of items. From floral, to meats, cheeses, wine, speciality items, fruits, snacks, vegetables, hard-to-find items and more. There is so much more! Things that stood out even though I loved everything about this place: -the vast selection of canisters of olive oils -the vast array of different varieties of balsamic vinegars (amazing!) -house made items in every area -house made popcorn with so many flavors, so fresh. -the many, many homemade soups: probably around 20 different kinds and delicious. -a ramen bar, what? -bakery -pizzeria -exotic fruits and vegetables and regulars ones too -the wine bar: sip while you shop. -house-made sausages and cheeses -house-made jams, jellies, local honey -extensive variety of spices, herbs, flour and grains - great service, very helpful. This is a must try and truly a destination. I cannot wait to shop and browse here again!

Everyone in our local area knows Monticello's is the place to go for premium cuts of meat and…read moredelectable seafood. Not many know about the MANY other items they offer. The produce section is beautiful offering many staple items and cauliflower as big as my head! The desserts are mind blowing, chocolate, fruit, cake, rolls, tarts, gluten free...all bases are covered here! There is even a soup stand with at least 6-8 selections, to-go foods both cold and warm. Lunch options, dinner options, snacks...it's all available there! Lastly the dog treats, they are homemade and brought in by the baker/owner of the small local business on a regular basis. Several items in the store are sourced locally and the prices are comparable to other stores, maybe a little more for specialty items. All team members encountered are willing to help and answer questions and everyone was smiling and in a genuine good mood. Rare! There is legit something for everyone and they are now on my weekly list of stops to make!

I wish i could leave more than 5 stars. Monticellos is by far the best meat market (and overall…read moremarket) in the area. They have an unbelievable selection of high quality meats, cheeses, soups, fresh foods, deli, condiments, breads, fresh produce, and beer and wine. The highlight for me is the meat counter specifically. There are always multiple employees asking if you need help with anything and making suggestions if you're unsure (especially when it comes to the snack sticks, jerky, etc). The hot soup bar is amazing as well. Hands down best soup(s) i have ever purchased at a market. There are too many other great things to mention. Monticellos will continue to be my Go-To for all of the above. Keep up the good work!

I wish I could leave a positive review Fresh Thyme, especially since I have deep-rooted ties to…read morethis particular location. I fondly remember visiting Goodrich's Shop Rite with my grandparents weekly and regularly shop at Fresh Thyme myself. I love Blueowl and Ding Tea is one of the best shops in the area, unfortunately, due to a recent experience, I can no longer support these businesses. I was planning on going grocery shopping at Fresh Thyme after going to an hour long class, it was a Tuesday afternoon so there were plenty of parking spots, and an hour is not an excessive amount of time to leave your car parked. When I get back my car was towed. While I appreciate that some Fresh Thyme employees were helpful, the manager I spoke with was dismissive. He refused to tell me who might have towed my car and seemed annoyed that I wasn't aware of the towing company this particular lot uses. His lack of assistance only added to my frustration.( I do not know if he called specifically or if it was the owner of the lot the manager said he was not at liberty of saying, but either way he was rude and unhelpful) This manager also was not wearing a name tag. I had to pay $326 (not including cab fare) just to retrieve my vehicle. This experience feels particularly targeted, as I have parked here multiple times and gone to class before going shopping without incident, often in a newer model car. It seems like students, who primarily support many of these businesses, are being unfairly penalized. Additionally, I want to highlight a concern beyond the towing issue: if your car gets scratched by another driver while you're shopping, it can be incredibly challenging to locate the owner. This isn't just a student issue; it affects everyone who parks there. Save your time, car value and money and support other businesses in East Lansing who actually prioritize their customers' experiences and values your time. (Plus since they have added the self service checkout they almost never have the standard checkout open, and their bathroom frequently has no toilet paper)
