I also have gotten the most beautiful wooden cutting boards from a woodworker who is a true artist, and these were priced so reasonably so that I could actually afford a couple of them.

I've bought flower boxes from a lady whose granddaughter told me has huge flower gardens and does this for the love of it, and you can tell, because everything she makes is amazing. From buying eggs to home made Banana bread, organically grown veggies, you'll never be disappointed coming to Fulton Market... so thankful to have this option in our city.

One of the hanging baskets I bought was a strawberry plant and it did very well on all of the big strawberries it produced. I still am getting strawberries! I bought two quarts of strawberries in June and thought I would get the larger ones but they were not very sweet. Wish I would have purchased the smaller ones. Also bought pound cake that Verhage Farms makes and it was very good The vegetables and fruit are a little pricey and I wont buy the fruit that stays outside in the sun until sold. They are way too ripe. I always go back to this place and try to find something else to try. Glad it is near by.

First: If they have pear cider available, GET IT. It is truly, honestly extraordinary. We went through a few gallons this year, and each drop seems to be nectar of the gods. They are closed for winter, obviously. But when they reopen in spring, here's what to expect: * Enormous tubs of whatever is in season, parked right out front of their doors * Inside shopping for things that need refrigeration (cider!), including lovely bags of spring greens that we always get, and veggies that don't need to be out in the open air * Sort of odd parking. The handicap parking is far away for me. There are two close spots to the right of the doors, and that is not a difficult walk * SO MANY KINDS of everything: apples, squash, pumpkins, well, you know Michigan harvests. You'll find all that and more here. * In the summer, LOVELY jalapenos that we stock up on and freeze for winter *Reasonable prices Tip: Weekends are busy and crowded. Mondays take a hot minute to be restocked! We go here SO often. It's a great place, with friendly people.

In the fall they have a lot of offerings on Saturdays and Sundays. You can take a hayride to pick your own pumpkin, and unlike some school field trips where my kids selected a pumpkin from ones "lain about" in a field, this was the real deal with vines attached and small to xxl to choose from. The hayride has stairs in the farm and the field, which is nice for older folks. They offer another one that goes through the woods, too. There was a corn maze that wasn't extraordinarily difficult, but was just right and fun to explore. There were some goats, a sheep, a turkey, and chickens to feed, and the kids loved a free covered hay pile play park with a tunnel and wood play structure. That got out some energy! I saw another tent where it looked like you could paint your pumpkin, but we didn't go in there. There was a cute photo spot with a bench, and I even picked up some homegrown produce that looked good and was really affordable. See pic for prices w activities. I thought this whole place was pretty affordable... At some of those farms the prices are crazy. Everyone who worked here was really nice and helpful, too! We came here after stopping for exceptional cider and donuts at Young's Orchard about 4 miles away, and it was a perfect fall family day!

Pregitzer Farm participates in the Westside Farmer's Market in front of Zingerman's Roadhouse. Our…read morerelationship with them started by purchasing their veggies at the Farmer's Market every Thursday; eventually, I would make a beeline for their stand each visit. Wade was always really helpful and personable. One Thursday, we started talking about their CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program, and he showed me their full and half share boxes. I was immediately jealous of all those families receiving their plentiful boxes each week, and I basically begged myself into the program for a half share box starting in the middle of the summer. I was completely late, and they were full, but somehow, Wade's wife Shannon felt convinced by my plea that I needed their half share box, and they let us in. And I am so glad they did! From August through September it felt like Christmas every week. On Thursdays I would pick up my box, and it was packed full of all of the veggies I love to eat. (My husband said I was like a small child at Christmas on Thursdays when I would bring the box home and take everything out immediately and revel in what I would be cooking for the next few days). The difference between this farm and many other farms is that they focus on the staples: zucchini, squash, tomatoes (many varieties), cucumbers, melon, corn, cabbage, broccoli, beets, peppers, eggplant... towards the end of the season we also got brussel sprouts, garlic, potatoes, and some herbs. This was the perfect box for us because I did not want a lot of salad greens -- I am not a huge salad eater. And I've always been a bit wary of CSA boxes for fear of getting a giant box of arugula and romaine that will go bad in my fridge. But after a season with Pregitzer, I am completely hooked on the CSA program and on their box! The half share box is really affordable, in my opinion -- $220 for the season, which works out to roughly $13 a week. For fresh, local produce -- you can't beat that. And they extended out their CSA program from what it said on their website, and I thought that was a total bonus. Half share is the perfect amount for two people. Pregitzer also hosted a number of activity days on their farm on the weekends. I never got a chance to go, but hopefully will next year. They are also open for business on their farm on the weekends and sell their produce then. Additionally, they offer egg shares (a carton a week for the duration of the CSA) for $30 and they also offer whole chickens for sale in November and December to their CSA people. If you are interested in doing a CSA box, fall and early winter is the time to do the research, pick your farm and get on their wait list. Be sure to look on their websites and see what they grow, ask what kind of veggies you will get throughout the year, and be sure it meshes with the kind of food you like to eat. Ask one of their CSA'ers about their program too, if possible.

There was no cost to enter on weekdays, making it a more accessible and fun activity. There is a large area with food, drinks, doughnuts, and other food and accessories.

I had no idea that they had a variety of animals like cows, goats, and more. The staff were incredibly warm and friendly and there was a lot of available parking.

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.

Outside of my veggie-heavy CSA haul, here's what ends up in my tote bags: -FRUIT: West Michigan is the fruit belt after all. The season starts with strawberries; peaks with peaches, apricots, nectarines, watermelon, cherries, raspberries, tomatoes, and BLUEBERRIES; and winds down with apples and pumpkins. -MORE VEG: Basically, you name it, and you'll find it at the market. -Maple syrup: you're very lucky if you can get your hands on the varieties infused with whiskey as well as elderberry. -Blank cards: go see Marguerite, she's a talented artist, and she also makes delicious jams. -Cheese: the Cheese People of Grand Rapids know their stuff. -Sourdough loaves -And during blueberry season: blueberry muffins from Bowermans...or blueberry donuts...or blueberry handpies. You can't go wrong. That's about all I can fit (and afford) on a weekly basis, and know that there's so much more deliciousness...and plants. There's a lot of those too! The market is also market-ing on Saturdays. That's when it's a full house in terms of vendors. If there's one vendor you can't pass by, it's Rudy at Fantabulous Fudge. He's been slinging *the best* fudge in the area for years, and in the fall, he makes some bomb caramel apples using orchard apples. Lastly, I recommend coming in the spring, summer, and fall if you can swing it, as there are certain vendors that only make appearances during certain parts of the season.
