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.

The town of Ludington is super charming, and so is its farmers market / artisan market that takes…read moreplace on Thursdays and Fridays during the summer (late May through late September). Thursday is the artisan market, and Friday is the farmers market. We visited on a Friday, which was farmers market day, but I also felt like there were quite a few artisans selling their goods. When we visited the farmers market in late August, people were selling plums, peaches and other stone fruit; apples; local cheese; local honey; cut flowers; and lots more. I also saw people selling handmade ceramics, candles, polished stones and crafty things. This is a small but highly curated farmers market with a good sampling of what the people of Ludington are growing and creating. The farmers market is located in Legacy Plaza in downtown Ludington. Just steps away is a pavilion, where a guy with a guitar was playing music (including a Mazzy Star song! He has good taste.). I've been told that there is usually live music happening during farmers market days. Just off the pavilion is a grassy area where kids can play, a couple of corn hole sets, and lots of tables and seats. You're also steps away from restaurants and shops (including Keeper's Fish Shack), so you can shop and dine and relax all in one spot during the summer.

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.

And because why the heck not, I also got a toffee pecan shortbread cookie. Why eat just one cookie when you can eat two? While I was there, I got probably the best iced tea I've had in a long time: the holy basil tulsi, which was wonderfully green-tasting and mellow. They have a good selection of all kinds of teas, from rooibos to herbal to black to white to oolong to green and more. But if you're looking for something different, I highly recommend the holy basil tulsi! I'm kind of kicking myself for not buying some of that tea while I was there, because I would love to enjoy it at home. They do sell their teas, so if you're smarter than I am, you will get some tea to take home. One of the great things about HumaniTea is that all of their teas are humanely sourced. They are very invested in combating slavery and human trafficking. So you can feel good that the tea leaves you're enjoying were responsibly sourced. That's a feather in your cap (and in your cup). Another neat thing about HumaniTea is that they offer local kombucha by the growler! I don't think I've ever heard of kombucha on tap, so that's pretty unique.
