Last Day of Fun at the Rochester Farmer’s Market

As the holiday season edges closer and closer, the Rochester Farmers’ Market is nearing the end of its five-month stay on the corner of Water St. and East Third, just a stone’s throw off Main street. In fact, this Saturday, the 29th, will be the final day that each vendor will have his or her fresh produce on display—so there’s no time like the present to stop by!

The market hosts dozens of local produce vendors from the southeast side of state, and offers a veritable cornucopia of flowers, vegetables, and fruits to browse and enjoy. The growers themselves are on hand to help select produce or even to just say hi, making the market more than just a supermarket aisle; it’s a community of Michiganians who care a lot about what they grow. A different vendor is highlighted each week, and this week’s featured vendor is Helga Soave of Choices Bath and Body, whose educational background in chemistry, coupled with a familial struggle with cancer, lead to her developing a holistic line of bath and body products.

In commemoration of the end of the farming season—and in keeping with the Halloween spirit—the Farmers’ Market is closing with a Trick-or-Treat Downtown, so be sure to bring the whole family and a costume for some festive fun with your neighbors. The Rochester Fire Department will also be hosting free hayrides and a spaghetti dinner, the proceeds of which will benefit the Rochester Area Youth Assistance, so don’t let your trick-or-treating candy spoil your appetite. Enjoy a hot plate of spaghetti with the rest of the community, and support a great organization in the process!

In Rochester, Halloween isn’t just about Hershey bars and spooky thrills; it’s also a time to come together as a city, to enjoy the local produce, and to help make our neighborhoods a safer place. So don’t miss out on all the Halloween fun—bring your family and friends to the last Farmer’s Market this Saturday, and celebrate the end of the season with the entire community!
