Quick little update 5 years after my last to say they're still just as amazing as always, expanding…read morequite a bit of their offering since last I reviewed. First I was so excited to see strawberries in stock, given they have had such a rough crop this summer. And not only did they have them but they had quite a bit! They're small but mighty delicious! Also, love all the local brands/makers they carry and they just keep upping their game outside of produce as well. In particular I'm mightly geeked that they carry Bird Dog Baking from Ypsi (love their rye teacake), White Lotus Farms (my husband can't stop raving about the pistachio blackberry croissant I brought him), Why Not Pie?, Harvest Kitchen, and more. And of course, my beloved Crust. Everyone here is so kind. The mission is so important. And their products are so great. Love having them so close by!

I travel regularly to Argus from Jackson to buy local organic produce; being a vegan, I can't…read morestomach the idea of eating grocery store food. This is as local as you can get, without visiting the farm personally. They also have a great selection of locally sourced meat and dairy; and a cozy enclosed patio to enjoy a coffee and a fresh pastry. The vibe is earthy and relaxed, without a red cap in sight. If you care about your food, you need Argus in your life.

So happy Whittaker's Berry Farm remained unscaved following the recent weather system / tornadoes…read morethat came through the area in the last couple of days. I took off work just so I could arrive at the farm just after opening today and there were many people picking strawberries only 10 - 15 minutes after opening. You pick strawberries at $2.99/lb - how can you go wrong? It took me about 35 - 45 minutes to fill my flat. Strawberries were plentiful. I must have been in the area of the parcel that had been picked before as the size of the berries seemed smaller than what I had hoped for. My thoughts were confirmed when I was at the checkout building as the gentlemen in the line next to me had huge Jewel strawberries that were gigantic compared to what I was able to pick. Oh well, these berries will taste just fine in a pie, on shortcake, over ice cream or cheesecake, in bread, muffins, or scones, just to name a few.

It was so worth it to find this farm and have our toddler have a blast picking strawberries. We…read morecame on the last day and went home with a full box of strawberries. Not all were huge but all were in good shape. It was pretty straightforward to find the location and the path was well-organized with signages.

I *love* their quiches. They have become a holiday staple in our family on Christmas and Thanksgiving morning. Lately I've been coming for postpartum prepared meals because I know their ingredients are decent. Everything is a bit pricey, but I know the stuff is quality and we've had such a good experience with their catering department. That we will be shopping here for a long time.

Only place in town I could find rhubarb the last week of March - Michigan grown! I was surprised but delighted to browse their extensive selection of craft beers, ciders, and non-alcoholic beverages. This is definitely a good place to go if you're looking for something fun to try, or to bring something unique to a dinner party etc. They also have meat, dairy, a lot of ready-mades, and a nice looking salad bar. It is overall more expensive than other grocery stories, but presumably shopping here is supporting a local business and local farmers.

First time here and the donuts were SO soft. Probably the softest Ive ever had. (My husband said…read morethey were too soft. ) Ive been to many local cider mills, and these seemed a little smaller but much softer. Very quiet vibes, nothing fancy. They have canned/jarred goodies inside along with fresh pies and apple fritters! If you walk to the back area you can watch the donuts fall off the conveyor belt and into the cinnamon "tumbler" then they are bagged up! Tons of spaced out seating outside. Theres a huge open area for kids to play, theres a bin of different balls provided for kids. And theres cornhole for adults.

Very clean and there's plenty of seating area inside and out! In the store, I picked up a dozen donuts, half plain and half cinnamon sugar, as well as a caramel apple with nuts and a gallon of cider. Everything was so delicious, especially the cinnamon sugar donuts mmmm. They're smaller than other places, but perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I'll be back to check out the other goodies next time! Great local business to support.

Worth a trip even if you live a little bit further away. Dustin and the ladies in the greenhouse went above and beyond to help me find what I was looking for.

Dealing with Debbie and Kary was the most nasty customer service process we have ever dealt with. They said they went above and beyond to help after hanging up on us, but later only offered absolutely ridiculous alternatives to resolve this problem with all of the things they weren't going to do. We suggest that they write an honest guarantee to add to their paperwork.

I've finally come around on Aldi…read more Perhaps Aldi has improved over the years. Maybe it is me who has changed. Likely it's a combination of the two. There is still a lot about Aldi that represents the globalization and industrialization of food. But in all fairness, that is frankly what most supermarket chains also represent these days. I suppose if one chooses to eat these products, it's a lot more sensible to pay less for them than to shell out one's hard earned money for ostensibly similar products. On my first visit to this market, in another state many years ago, the only product I recognized as food was their bottles of maple syrup. Now I regularly buy and enjoy things like organic apples, non GMO tofu, raw walnuts, MSC certified frozen fish, and chocolate ice cream to name a few. If I were more adventurous with my wine drinking these days, there are a few bottles that pique my interest. However, drinking much much less makes me reluctant to pick up a random bottle just to satisfy my curiosity. What I like most of all is the camaraderie of Aldi shoppers. There's this feeling that we're all in this together, and I love the exchange of shopping carts for quarters that can happen on the edge of the parking lot. I even got a chance to try out their "twice as nice" guarantee lately, and the clerk was super helpful and quickly helped to process a refund without a receipt. I suppose moldy bread can happen even when it contains preservatives. I don't eat the stuff, but my wife and kid still insist upon soft "sandwich bread" for weekday lunches. It has become a weekly destination to supplement runs to other conventional, gourmet, specialty, and international markets. Not only that, but Aldi's low prices help me to afford more of those pricier foods that I cherish. There is no substitute for great cheese, but one does not need great cheese to make the kid a quesadilla.

I like Aldi. This review is purely because the carts wouldn't take my quarter. When I actually got…read morethe quarter in, the cart lock didn't release. So I drove to Aldi to have a quarter eaten and no cart to shop with. Off to another Aldi.

It's raspberry season so my mom and I were looking for some u-pick places around town. Several of…read moreour old standbys were closed for the weekend so after a bit of digging we came across Berry Hill Farm. So cute! It's right on the border of Dexter/Chelsea and is just big enough to make picking SUPER easy but not so big that you need to spend a ton of time here. I think we were in and out in about 30-40 minutes at most, and we filled a whole flat with delicious berries. They're only open during picking season so check their facebook page for daily updates on picking quality and hours. When you arrive, check in with the owners and they'll give you a box with containers and an empty milk jug to tie around your waist for easy two handed picking. Then dig in! There are several rows of different berry varieties, including red raspberries, black raspberries, and golden raspberries. You'll know they're ripe when they're a deep color and pull right off the bush. The bushes, especially blackberries, are a bit spiky so be careful! I didn't bring gloves because I find them a bit cumbersome so I did get poked a couple of times but nothing major. When you're done, head back to the garage with your tray and they'll tally up your berries. Currently it's $2.50 per pint. Cash or check only. Brought home the berries and they were SO good. They really lasted a long time too. It's been over a week and I've still be throwing them in my yogurt every morning. Baked up beautifully in some breakfast bars too. Excited to have discovered this place and I'm definitely looking forward to visiting year after year.
