Farmers' Market features to check out this season:

Can You Dig It?
Offered by our own professional growers and Master Gardeners, they'll address different gardening topics and techniques each month. Some sessions include hands-on activities and plenty of time for questions. No fee or pre-registration is required. This program will be offered the 2nd Thursday of each month at 9:00am.  The line-up includes:

Master Gardeners
Master Gardeners will be available every Market day until noon to answer your gardening questions. They will be located in front of the white building in stall #57.

Civic Concern Donations
The Wayne County Master Gardeners will be accepting donations of fresh produce from your garden, community garden plots, or purchased at the Farmers' Market. All fresh produce donations will be donated locally to Northville Civic Concern. Collection boxes will be located at the Master Gardeners booth.

Garden Pot Recycling
Our garden pot recycling project last year was so successful that our Market is now a model for other markets. Watch for the signs that will direct you to our new, LARGER collection bin for clean pots, plug trays and flat trays. Let's try and exceed our donations of 650 pounds of plastic from last season. Gina Adams-Levy from Peace, Love & Planet (a grass roots, non-profit organization) runs this project for the Market.

Chefs at the Market
The Third Thursday of each month, beginning at 9:00am, a local chef tours the Market, selecting fresh produce, preparing/demonstrating a recipe and offering samples and recipe cards. No fee or registration is necessary. The line up includes:

GRUB CRAWL – VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Volunteering for this event is a great way to help us out while enjoying this event for FREE! Every restaurant requires 2 adults to help the Grub Crawlers get started and to direct them to their location in your assigned restaurant. We ask our volunteers to meet at the Chamber office at 5:15pm (July 28th) to pick up your list of attendees and wristbands and general information. Then you report to your assigned restaurant and meet up with the first group of “crawlers”. You will be stationed at your restaurant until 8:00pm. After that, you are welcome to enjoy the rest of the evening “grub crawling”! These slots fill up early so please let us know ASAP. Only those working are given free passes so let us know if a friend, spouse or co-worker will be working with you (will need names for name tags). FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVE!
