Not as big of a…read moreselection as Fulton Street, but super close to work making it easy to grab a few staples during the week like tomatoes, corn, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, peaches, and blueberries. And gorgeous little bouquets of flowers! If you are looking for a good old fashioned red slicing tomatoes, this place has some of the best. Great deals on bushels of Romas in September for canning/freezing. Come Fall, look for tons of pumpkins, winter squash, apples, and cider! Used to be located off of Four Mile, it is now off of Walker Road just past Bissel headquarters.

On our visit to Lake Michigan, we wanted to visit a U-Pick farm. We were delighted to learn that it…read morewas strawberry season and Visser Family Farms was a short 10 minute drive from where we were staying! It started to sprinkle rain as we pulled up to park, but that clearly didn't stop people from picking strawberries as we saw a family walk away with baskets and baskets of strawberries. The girl at the U Pick Stand was the sweetest walking us through the different types of baskets to choose from, the cost, and the process before we were set free to pick our berries! There were SO many strawberry fields and so many good juicy strawberries to choose from! My toddler, my husband, and I had a blast even in the rain! My only regret was not picking more because when I finally ate one - it was quite frankly one of the best strawberries I've ever had. On our way back to the car, we noticed the blueberry farm. They looked like they were almost ready for blueberry u-pick season and sure enough, a week later they were open! I wanted to see what they had in their little market, so we pulled up front and I saw they had strawberry donuts for sale! I grabbed half a dozen and both my husband and I devoured one as soon as I got back in the car. The next few days, I air fried them to reheat them and they were EVEN BETTER. So fluffy, airy, and full of strawberries! We can't wait to come back in the future.

I love this place. It makes me feel like I'm home. The quantity and quality, along with variety and…read morethe stellar quality of all the products absolutely fascinate me. I just love coming here. Thank you for being there when I need you!

Ken's Fruit Market is a grocery store that stocks local items and the Plainfield location has a…read morelarge greenhouse/garden center. Nate and I stopped in after breakfast at Real Food Cafe recently and picked up some groceries and a hanging basket for my mom. The layout of the store is kind of strange and crowded, so it was difficult to maneuver the large cart at times. It took me a bit to find some items since this isn't my regular grocery store, but I was able to find 99% of the stuff on my list. I didn't see many employees around to ask for help finding things. The garden center was a similar situation with only one person who looked to be working there. I wasn't sure which hanging baskets were for sun vs. shade, but some were labeled. They had tons of flowers, vegetables, and other plants available for sale. I can't really comment on pricing since I'm not the plant person in my household, but I'd rather support a local business like Ken's over Lowe's or some other big box store.

I especially like that we can buy a half pie. We did just that today. We now go one or two days a week and enjoy our treats at the picnic tables outside.

There is a whole wall of baked goods like pies and danishes. But the star of the show are the donuts. Homemade and fresh. A dozen of these beauties are less than $14. I'm writing a separate section on the cinnamon rolls. I happen to be a cinnamon roll Connoisseur. They are handmade, stuffed with cinnamon, not too sweet, with just a drizzle of icing on top. Perfection. There was a separate nursery with plants over on the other side of the building. We did not go over there, but it looked very intriguing. When we're in the area will definitely be back.

Some have even started going to Wells themselves. I also buy farm raised eggs there. They often resell excellent cider from top farm cideries. Their jams and jellies are great. Friendly people.

Still a five-star farmers market. I have a CSA through Eighth Day Farm, so I've been coming weekly…read moreon Wednesday mornings. Outside of my veggie-heavy CSA haul, here's what ends up in my tote bags: -FRUIT: West Michigan is the fruit belt after all. The season starts with strawberries; peaks with peaches, apricots, nectarines, watermelon, cherries, raspberries, tomatoes, and BLUEBERRIES; and winds down with apples and pumpkins. -MORE VEG: Basically, you name it, and you'll find it at the market. -Maple syrup: you're very lucky if you can get your hands on the varieties infused with whiskey as well as elderberry. -Blank cards: go see Marguerite, she's a talented artist, and she also makes delicious jams. -Cheese: the Cheese People of Grand Rapids know their stuff. -Sourdough loaves -And during blueberry season: blueberry muffins from Bowermans...or blueberry donuts...or blueberry handpies. You can't go wrong. That's about all I can fit (and afford) on a weekly basis, and know that there's so much more deliciousness...and plants. There's a lot of those too! The market is also market-ing on Saturdays. That's when it's a full house in terms of vendors. If there's one vendor you can't pass by, it's Rudy at Fantabulous Fudge. He's been slinging *the best* fudge in the area for years, and in the fall, he makes some bomb caramel apples using orchard apples. Lastly, I recommend coming in the spring, summer, and fall if you can swing it, as there are certain vendors that only make appearances during certain parts of the season.
