I was in need of peaches, and I figured I'd give Green Acres, an open-air market, a try. Coming in…read morethe summer, I was happy to see that most of the produce was either local or from the Midwest. There were samples of watermelon and cantaloupe out for trying, and I found myself with an Indiana watermelon in my cart, plus local peaches and tomatoes. My husband called my attention to the pies, donuts, muffins, and fry pies. I could smell that Green Acres bakes/fries some of their sweets, while they sell goods from other businesses. He bought a blueberry donut and Amish fry pie, and of the two, the blueberry donut was the better buy. Green Acres not only frosted it but also added some blueberries on top. Not bad! Though they didn't make it into the cart, Green Acres also carries meat, eggs, flowers, soaps, succulents, adirondack chairs, and decor for your yard. While this won't be in my regular rotation, I'm grateful to know that Green Acres is available. I may pop in during the fall for pumpkins.

Green Acres Farm Market may be worth the stop, if you purchase other items than what I did!…read more Cashier was very nice, friendly, and for a farm market, they have an extensive collection of items! If you are staying in the area, it is possible to purchase several full meals of groceries here. But, nearly everything I purchased was not good. The jams/jellies? Why are they not Michigan made? I bought 2-3, 1 leaked on the car ride back home, the other did not have good texture or flavor at all, which is disappointing, as it is Raspberry Rhubarb. The honey was the worst local honey I've ever purchased anywhere. Maybe because it was my first time trying creamed honey? The apples were overpriced, but I needed them. Taste and quality was decent. We wanted to purchase a small wooden windmill, but the price was ludicrous, I think it was $300! Locally, maybe this is the place to go for plants. Maybe it's the place to go for produce. I know it's not the place to go for anything in a jar. I'd rather drive to Holland for the Farmers Market or to Harvest Health Foods. If I'm in the area again, I'd give the another try, to test a bigger array of their items!

Hansen Foods is a great local grocery store! They have a great variety of products, produce and…read morelots of fresh baked goods. They have deliveries from a local baker as well that makes fabulous sour dough (Laughing Tree). They have also expanded their offerings on speciality cheeses and health products. Hansen Foods brings in produce from local farmers as well as canned goods from local producers. Prices are competitive especially for a small store. They're a little higher than the major grocery chain but it's nice to support local businesses. Staff are friendly and the owner wants to accommodate and evens does some special orders if a product is low or out of stock.

I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed tomorrow so drinking pineapple juice is needed lmao.

She was so kind and helped clean up any juice that spilled!

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.

The restaurant area was inside of a barn, which looked pretty rustic and neat, but I asked about getting a turkey sandwich plain for my son and was met with a flat "no." I went out to confer with my family, came back to order a ham/cherry mustard/swiss sandwich to go. I waited 30 minutes and when I went back to check in case they forgot, I was told "if you would have ordered at the time you first came in, it would have been out already, but another family came in first, so you'll have to wait longer." I waited an additional 10 minutes, and when I received my sandwich, no apologies, no "have a nice day." I thanked the employee and went about my way. I'm not one to leave negative feedback, but it's warranted to inform others of the lackluster attitude of employees. Check out the lavender labyrinth, as it was awesome, but I won't go out of my way to check this farm and market out again.

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.
