Camping in Manistee and we were driving around seeing the lay of the land. We came upon Orchard…read moreMarket and pulled into a large parking lot, not too busy, late afternoon. Very large market to check out, beautiful fruit and vegetables to temp you. Deli, bakery, jellies, they had it all. What got our attention was the homemade goodies displayed and I cannot pass up cookies and pie's! Even though it was 4:00PM, they still had ample choices to choose from. We purchased a package with 8 Ginger Snap cookies and also purchased a Cherry Pie. The pie was 20.00 and it was pretty heavy, hmm, loaded with lots of cherries you think ??? Cookies were 5.70. Ladies were very sweet and appreciative of our purchase. We both had a cookie for the drive home, husband loves these cookies and they were fresh, moist and darn tasty. Had a slice of pie after dinner and I must give credit, when credit is due, it was delicious, worth the 20.00. At the country market's, that's pretty much the going rate, give or take 1.00. Check out this market, lots of good stuff. Debbie Riverview/ Mich.

Just went in last week for the first run of sweet corn from their farm in back. The best! It sure seems as though I need corn on the cob in a Michigan Summer, Blueberries were fresh as well.

The fact that teeny Onekama has a farmers market is a wonder in itself. There may usually only be…read more3 stalls, but they offer up a sampling of some of the region's best produce, maple syrup, and home-produced baked goods. One stand generally specializes in seasonal fruits, vegetables and baked goods. This past Friday they had sweet cherries, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a variety of pies and cakes, as well single serving cookies and muffins. The maple syrup table has all manner of syrup in different sized glass bottles, as well as things like maple sugar, candies, and granola. Other tables might offer homemade bread, fresh cut flowers, farm eggs, and hand-knit woolen apparel. With so much temptation, it's very easy to blow through $20-30 here, so bring cash. The market is up and running every Friday during the summer, from 1pm-4 (or 4:30?), in the parking lot next to the thrift store. Even if it's raining, they're generally still in operation.

We stopped in on our way north, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The sticky buns were out of this world--gooey, perfectly spiced, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. And don't even get me started on the apple fritters--loaded with juicy apple chunks and just the right amount of sweetness. Pro tip: get here early, because the locals clearly know how good it is, and things sell out fast. Trust me, it's worth the drive!

We parked as they were getting in their car to leave. They were so sweet. They got out of the car and opened up the store so we could look around. There was so much cute and delicious looking goodies. We ended up buying some cherry chocolate chip cookies, Jamaican banana bread, rhubarb jam, honey cream and some cherry drinks. Between the cuteness of the stand the incredibly friendliness of the owners and the yumminess of all we bought I HIGHLY recommend stopping by if you're ever in the area, even if you're just passing by.

In fact, I kind of expect it. That being said, Grassa's (formerly Stones) is a terrific exception to the rule. Flat upon flat of beautiful plants/flowers/vegetables at prices far less than you'd find in Chicago. Crazy massive selection. Cheesy lawn statues and fountains? Yes indeedy, and at remarkably fair prices! Gardening implements, trees, bushes, seed, they have it, all of it at very fair prices, Northern Michigan or not. They also have a very nice farm market where they have local produce and other items. Yesterday, I got some lovely local asparagus at .99 cents a pound. Yes, that's right, .99 a POUND. I also picked up a beautiful local blackberry jam for about $3.00, a loaf of fresh baked bread, and an addictive house made snack mix loaded with slivered almonds, pepitas, sesame sticks and other goodies.. In addition, they have refrigerator cases loaded with cheese, beverages, etc. so it's a good place to stock up for a road trip. A great stop on your way up North or on your way home. Helpful and friendly staff, an emphasis on local items, huge selection and great prices. One of my favorite annual stops on my trips to and from Glen Arbor.
