Hello Folks
My apologies, but after picking today, the nectarines picked out to a quality that is not suitable to sell
I’m so very sorry for putting you through the ordering process and expectations of getting the product
Thank You!
NOVA Bakery of Muskegon
Hello all!
My husband was informed Tuesday that one of his students at the culinary school tested positive for covid (after starting back Monday!) and although many precautions were put in place as we started the semester and we did not have to according to the CDC guidelines, we both decided to get tested today to be sure (I also teach there).
Since results will not come back for 36-48 hours, I will not come to the market this Saturday in case of a positive test.
If results are negative I will be back next week and can carry over your orders to that date if you wish.
If it’s positive, I will be out at least 14 days, but will be back when it is safe!
Thank you again for all of your support.
Any questions, feel free to email me!

*******************
Please visit the Sweetwater Facebook Page for our Covid19 Policy – What we are doing as a market to keep everyone safe is discussed there.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRE-ORDER & DRIVE THROUGH
1. Look over the list. Each vendor has a unique deadline for when they need to receive your pre-order depending on their product. Send your pre-order to each vendor you want to order from, within their required deadlines.
2. Vendors will respond back by no later than Friday before market day with an order confirmation and an invoice that in most cases will allow you to pre-pay for your order. If a vendor is not set up to take payment online they will accept checks (preferred) or cash in a sealed envelope on market day pickup.
3. Market Day. Important! Please see the attached map with arrows indicating which way you should plan to approach the market. We have 3 sections opened now and are refining the traffic pattern plan every week!
Please plan to line up and stay in your vehicle. We will also have signs to help point you in the right direction.
***Hospital staff have asked that we do everything possible to keep people who have appointments in the building from getting stuck in the farmers market lane. To keep traffic moving, please don’t stop your vehicle (to open trunk, etc) until after you make the right turn into our parking lot. Thanks!
4. Please note! Using a sheet of paper at least 8.5 x 11, please list all of the vendors you have orders with in black marker (or something as visible), large enough for vendors to see it clearly. Please put your first & last name at the top of the list. Tape or hold up the list to the side window or front windshield where it will be most visible.
5. Have your trunk, or designated area of your car ready to receive your goods. As weather warms think about bringing a cooler for frozen, refrigerated items.
6. As you drive through, each vendor will bring your order to your vehicle and place it in the trunk or other designated space, and collect payment if you have not paid in advance. Again, please have checks (preferred) or cash in a sealed envelope with your name and the name of the vendor on the outside of it.
If you have not already done so you may want to sign up for the newsletter
to be informed of the pre-order schedule for the next market.
