If your looking for big pumpkins, this is where you go. They started with 150 pumpkins weighing 170 pounds and larger, and 90% of them were gone in 3 1/2 days. Pumpkins of varying sizes and shapes weighing 25-100+ pounds cover the lawn, and there's a photo opp spot to capture this year's pumpkin patch memory. Bird's also has decorative pumpkins in many colors, including white, yellow, blue, pink, and some with lace patterns. Swan gourds are one of my favorites because you can dry and turn them into bird houses. You'll also find small various colored gourds, pie pumpkins, and acorn squash. On another note, you can pick raspberries or purchase them already picked. The family who runs Bird's (bet you can guess their name!) is friendly and helpful, don't price gouge, and make us want to come back year after year. Head on over and pick up your pumpkins before they're all gone. That happened to us one year when we waited too long!

It might not be as big of an operation as "BROCKS" by the airport, but Bob's seem to have everything pretty much covered. Plus it's a very short drive/bicycle ride from my house. We came today for some additional veggie seedlings to plant in our backyard planter for the summer. Ya know, since it is starting to get plenty warm outside. Their flats are well organized, it didn't take us long to find what we were looking for. A set bush beans, cilantro and cucumbers. All that for $1.99 a piece?? YES PLEASE!! It makes me hella excited for this summers first harvest. If you're an avid green thumb and love to plant stuff for the summer. And you live in the immediate downriver area, this place is a great spot to go to for all your seedling needs. Now who's excited for the summer?? I know I am. Weeeeeeeeee!!!

There isn't much to see at this sparse Sunday farmer's market by the Canton Historical Society…read more The area is mostly residential so after spending ten minutes at the market and another ten minutes at the historical society, there was nothing left to do but leave. I prefer the Saturday farmer's markets in Farmington and Plymouth. Farmington is one of the best suburban farmer's markets on the west side of town. It is in a commercial area so it's livelier and there is more to do in addition to the farmer's market.

The last time I was there the market was on the south side of Michigan Ave. They had a decent selection of fruit and veggie vendors and a few baked goods and that was it. Now it's a great place to spend an afternoon and get nearly everything you need for your home. Eggs? They've got em. Meat? Beef, chicken, pork, lamb, even bison are all represented at one of the booths. Plenty of fruits and veggies, of course. Zingerman's is on hand with a lovely selection of cheeses and now--popsicles! Mosey on over to the Treat Dreams booth and get an ice cream from this Ferndale creamery, perfect for eating as you stroll around looking at some of the artisan vendors (bird houses! Lawn ornaments!). Still hungry? Grab a pastry and some of the local bakery vendors or a cookie (and a loaf of bread) from Avalon's booth. Or get a hot dog or some sausage from Binky's. Thirsty? How about a smoothie? While you're at it pick up some jam, some honey, or for something savory, how about some smoked fish? The new(er) space is perfect. Closer to the parking lots and there's plenty of room to wander and not feel crowded. Love the greenspace and if you want something a little heartier Buddy's is right next door so you can take your shopping bags and get some pizza on the patio. The perfect way to spend an afternoon in the sunshine.

I love our Dearborn Farmer's Market…read more As a resident of Dearborn I wanted to encourage others who have not had a chance to make it out to the Farmer's market on Friday mornings to come on out. The market is located behind the Bryant Library 8:00 am - 1 pm until October 29th. In my opinion this weekly event represents the "best of summer" from the wonderful produce; peaches blueberries, tomatoes, zucchini, the list goes on and on. Farm fresh and you really can taste the difference. Fresh bread, my favorite Rheinland Quarkstuten... don't ask just try it! I have even seen organic meat and unique products that compliment the food you buy at the market. If your not hungry yet may I also say, Fresh Michigan Cherry juice to top it all off! Everyone at the market is friendly and ready to help. It is one of the highlights of my week to attend I am so glad a friend told me.

We loved all the activity and action ... not the least of which was the variety of produce. Many Farmer's Market's fall into the trap of selling tons of merchandise that isn't related to farmers ... such as candles, cute wooden signs, cheap jewelry, and other such tchotchkes. This one didn't ... it had a focus on fresh fruits and vegetables. As you might imagine, a Farmer's Market in a mostly residential area brings parking problems ... but don't give up. Wonderful people, great selection, nice prices. Next time we're in Ann Arbor on a Saturday, we'll be sure to stop.

Barb was so thoughtful and thorough, wanting to ensure the arrangement looked perfect for my parents. She was super sweet, was asking questions to make conversation as she worked, and also helped me find a card in the store while she was working. Her help was truly appreciated, and I'll definitely be back for more flowers in the future! The price was also great, and I was able to grab a vase too. While I was waiting, I grabbed some cupcakes from Tony Cannoli -- chocolate, bubble cake, and birthday sprinkles. All were very delicious, as always! Six cupcakes were $15 and our family ate every bite!

Oh dear. We wanted…read moresome cider and donuts and came at exactly the wrong time. It was a Saturday afternoon and a perfect fall day - which meant our idea wasn't entirely original and everyone also also wanted cider and donuts. If it looks calm and quiet from the road, it might be false advertising. The entrance to the building is in the back, and the line goes through the building and then out the back entrance. Under normal circumstances, the line really wasn't that long, but the line was moving at a snail's pace. There were really only two people working but one cashier register. And they just weren't moving very fast. I can appreciate that they were understaffed (as so many businesses are these days) but there was a complete lack of urgency that made everyone a bit annoyed to wait in the line. They do have a few picnic tables in the back for people to sit and enjoy their snacks. They also offer cups so we can enjoy our cider right away. This place is a satellite site of their main Cider Mill, but I think the owners need to look into giving this place a little bit more love when it comes to staffing. If I were to come here again, I'd do so on a different day. I imagine that it's a better experience at 3pm in the afternoon on a Tuesday. That being said, don't come here on a weekend thinking you can pop in and out.

Not that pasteurized ick they try to tell you is real. Conveniently located on the edge of Plymouth, heading out to Ann Arbor, this is a great stop for quality cider. There are some picnic tables and plenty of food items to pick from but it is decidely less frills and adventures. It works for people like me though because it is super close to my parents house. It carries everything I need and it is not an all day extravaganza surrounded by endless families. I like kids and I like to act like a kid on occasion but sometimes I just want to pick up some cider or apples and skedaddle. This place is not without atmosphere, they have a nice woodstove and friendly employess and all the smells and happiness offered elsewhere. If you are nearby you gotta give it a whirl, it is a very short trek from Ann Arbor too.

This place is a hidden gem!! I found it randomly on Google and wanted to check it out…read more I finally came with my baby and it was pretty great! The only thing I wish, is that it was stroller friendly. It's mostly gravel so it's very inconvenient and probably damaging to the stroller. I understand it's a farm though (and that they have a separate cafe). Anywho, there is a whole parking lot for people to park and then an area for shopping for fresh veggies and bread. And there is a separate area by a lovely willow tree where you can get coffee, their home made root beer (will have to try that next time), and pastries. Now the pastries were AMAZING!!! I got their chocolate croissant and jalapeno popper croissant. Both were sooo delicious!! The chocolate croissant was very close to how Quebec makes them. It was soft and had the right amount of chocolate! The Jalapeno popper croissant filling was sooo unique and tasty!! I loved it! I will definitely be back! Oh and I sampled their mango lassi and it was delicious! I also appreciated the space where kids can feed and look at the goats and llama. There is a little pond play area too. And a beautiful garden! There probably is even more, I didn't get to see everything since it was hard to navigate with the stroller. Will bring a carrier next time.
