Never Better Naturals of Twin Lake 
*We accept credit & debit cards!
WHAT GOES ON YOUR SKIN IS AS IMPORTANT AS WHAT YOU EAT!
If you’re using commercial sunscreens, lotions, lip products, deodorant, lip care, pain medications, and/or steroid treatments, you’re allowing a lot of JUNK into your blood stream that eating clean can’t fix!
You don’t have to spend big money or support large companies (that are located who knows where?) to find safe and sustainably processed products.  You can find them right here!
I encourage you to give my products a chance.  You’ll find healthier and affordable alternatives to your current SKIN & PERSONAL CARE products, BABY care (diaper, rash, lotion), and also HERBAL SOLUTIONS for a wide variety minor skin and health concerns- all made right here in West Michigan.
I’m looking forward to showing you how I can help you make the switch to better!
Thanks, Rachel

Not attending this week:
Blackbird Farm of Coopersville
Since the early fall had been so dry, last weekend’s three inches of rain was welcome, but still a lot of water for the fields to handle. I need a window where the fields are dry enough to work so that I can plant my garlic for next season and sow some cover crops to protect and improve the soil. It looks like this weekend is that window before more rain arrives next week, so I will be in the fields and not at market this Saturday. Look for us to return the following week with more fall goodness!

Lively Up Kombucha of Muskegon
We had a great time on our first day at Sweetwater!
We are taking a weekend off-but we are planning to come consistently through the winter.

Shady Side Farm of Holland
*Accepts debit/credit cards.
I may be able to be back sooner than a month, stay tuned.
