Local food tastes better and is healthier, too,” she added. Most produce sold at the market was picked the morning of the day it is sold, like these fresh greens grown by the Brightmoor Youth Garden.EVERYONE’S INVITED – Open every Thursday from 4-8 PM, now through October 15, the Northwest Detroit Farmers’ Market features locally grown produce, baked goods, fresh bread, fair-trade coffee, seafood, and meats that are free of antibiotics and hormones. “We invite everyone to come to the south parking lot of Bushnell Church, 15000 Southfield Freeway, to buy fresh, local, delicious food,” said Weinstein.
