Take the hassle out of the holidays–get our gift baskets for those hard-to-give-to people! They will love getting the gift baskets filled with tasty treats, and you can do it with a phone call (for shippable gifts) or a stop in to the market early in the season, so it is taken care of! From under $15 to over $50, our bags and baskets are good quality and good value, and they show that you care enough to shop locally!
Our gift basket guru, Margie, has put together wonderful baskets that have no-sugar-added items for those on special diets. Another popular option is the breakfast basket, with gourmet pancake mix, pure maple syrup, and more. Delight Mexican-food fans with a basket containing locally famous La Fiesta chips, local asparagus guacamole, and zesty salsa. The snack attack basket, filled with munchy treats, makes a nice gift for teachers, coaches, and office assistants. Need a gift for the boss or co-worker? We can take care of that, too! And if you are a business owner with special customers, save yourself time by giving us your list; we provide handmade gift tags with each gift, to add a personal touch! If you want to send fresh fruit from Michigan, we offer our apple shipper, which nestles each apple in foam for a safe trip to the recipient!
Just remember, early is better! You’ll enjoy the season more, if you take care of your gifts beforehand! We’re open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday through December 30 (closed Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day only).

We are looking forward to serving more Oceana County area residents with quality Michigan foods!

Today is the first day of the season for strawberries at our market! Dave has connections with a quality grower in southwest Michigan, so we can expand our strawberry season with nice, ripe berries. Mmm-mmm! Time for some strawberry shortcake–and remember the whipped cream for a real treat! (We have Country Dairy whipping cream at the market during strawberry season!)

We will have our first ever “Sidewalk Sales” this Friday and Saturday at our market in Hart! It’s an opportunity for you to save some major green, and for us to move out some items to make room for the new season! Stop on by from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. to check out the deals on display outside–and come inside to get your apples and asparagus, and to see what’s new this year! We have added some great new Michigan-made products. We have plenty of our own Honeycrisp, Jonagold, Mutsu, and Ida Red apples, and fresh local asparagus. If you have a hankering for rhubarb, call the market at 873-7523 a day ahead, and Tim will pick some fresh for you. (No wholesale quantities.)

Our updated home page photos show tasty fresh asparagus and apples (including Honeycrisp), a selection of gift baskets, lovely flower baskets, and a series of apples: The trees which produce SweeTango(R) apples in glorious bloom (taken earlier), Dave checking the same trees for frost damage (taken May 16), and a photo of the apple orchard behind our home in Hart, Michigan (photo taken today, May 18).
There were so many blossoms on the young trees which will produce SweeTango(R) apples, that the frost damage we received appears to have thinned them down just about right. When young branches are covered with apple blossoms, having 19 out of 20 blooms frozen is not so bad; the tree would not be able to support the fruit if they all came to maturity. The frost may have scarred the surface of the remaining fruit; it is too early to tell. (It’s amazing to cut open the newly developing apple, maybe 1/8″ diameter, and to see the five seed compartments filled with teeny tiny white seeds!) Now, if we lost 19 out of 20 blooms on cherry trees, that would be a devastating crop loss. Each type of fruit has its own individual parameters.
