Details below. We hope to see you at the market Saturday, but if not, we hope you all have a pleasant weekend with your loved ones this Memorial Day weekend.
Vendors attending Saturday May 28th:
Blackbird Farms of Coopersville
We’ll be back at market this Saturday with our complete selection of herb and vegetable plants (including many new and unique heirloom tomato varieties!) for walk-up sales. And again this week, you have the option to pre-order via our online form, which will ensure that you’ll be able to get the plants you want on Saturday without waiting in line. The order deadline is noon on Friday.
We will have plants available at Sweetwater throughout the month of May (and perhaps into June), both for walk-up sales and pre-orders. (A new form will be published each week to reflect current inventory.)
And all Sweetwater friends are cordially invited to our on-farm organic gardening class on Tuesday, May 24, 6:00-8:00 pm (5213 Roosevelt, Coopersville, MI 49404), where we also will have plants available for sale.
Looking forward to seeing friends old and new this Saturday!

Market Cards are available! – if CSA is not your style, but you would like to support the farm through an early season purchase, consider a market card.

https://thewoventrifecta.com/shop/p/4mrgp138pty1nzjpg0v717ulfpqmu6
Seedlings are available for preorder! I am offering preorders on seedling plants this year! This will allow me to grow a bit more sustainably as it will prevent over seeding and wasting resources. (I will have limited seedling availability for walk up purchases though May and June)
However, if you would like to guarantee yourself seedlings consider preordering below!
All seedlings will be healthy and well rooted in a 3” pot, ready to transplant into your own garden!
All seedlings will be available to pick up on farm or at Sweetwater market from late May through June!
Order here:
