Now that we’ve got your attention:
If you’re looking to eat healthier, locally, seasonally, and support your farmers at the same time, be sure to attend our Market Connect series each Saturday at 11:30, featuring an interactive food lesson with our nutrition team and recipe tasting in the garden each week. If you attend, you have the option of a market tour, and we will even give you a coupon to spend with our vendors! (it’s also National W**d your Garden day, so if you want to pull a few while you’re there, feel free!)

We’ve got our friends from the Jackson YMCA joining us on the patio tomorrow morning at 10:00 for *free* community yoga; all experience levels are welcome -

And if you’re *really* looking for something special, the very patient and talented Miss Hansika will be here to share her freehand henna adornment skills - gift yourself something vibrant and ethereal!

🎶This week’s market soundtrack 11-1:00 is courtesy of Tony Howard, bringing a perfect mix of covers and original tunes…

Let’s make some soil! In addition to mitigating climate change by reducing greenhouse gases, conserving water, minimizing landfill waste, and generating nutrient-rich material, composting helps regenerates depleted earth. Remember, our Grow Jackson composting program is underway - see below to find out what we can, and cannot take!

🌎 Happy World Environment Day! It’s a great day to focus on ecological crises, and how we can drive action. What can you do?

🌱Join us Saturday 6/5 at the River & Rail to learn from our friends at My Green Michigan about our new community compost program! This will be one of Grow Jackson’s ongoing initiatives - composting is highlighted as a core climate action because it reduces greenhouse gases by diverting organic waste from landfills and returns vital nutrients to the soil - in this case, right to our own soil in our gardens!

The highly requested Fork in Nigeria rolls in at noon and will be here till 8 PM, pre-order to avoid the line! Other prepared food offerings 9:00 - 2:00 include:

Bread Bites Mediterranean returns next Saturday - with samosas, spinach pies, and those fabulous pistachio and chocolate croissants -
