MARKET NEWS
Funny Farm of Grant
Hello, friends. Things are slowing down on the farm. The blackberries have done their job for the year. Not seeing any that are ripe this week. Fall is coming really soon. Cooler air is turning the apples redder by the day. Most of the stuff we grew is harvested but the winter squash may show up this week.
Or next week, we’ll see how things go this week. Meanwhile the list is slowing down but newly harvested stuff is coming in now.
If you’d like to reserve something, please text me at 734 945 0720 and I will let you
know. Thank you so much for all your support this summer!

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 on market day pickup.
