The Lansing City Market

I've picked up a part time job at the Lansing City Market, and if you live in the area and haven't been yet, I strongly encourage you to make a trip downtown and see what we have to offer. Its exciting being amongst people that care so deeply about their local community. It is also a great feeling knowing that you're supporting local Michigan farmers and craftsman. If you've ever felt like you've wanted to make the leap towards buying locally and eating locally (and in season) then you have everything laid out very nicely here to make it that much easier. They've also added a new restaraunt/bar called The Waterfront that has AMAZING food (much of which is plucked right from the vendor's booths in the Market)

Here is a list of the vendors you can find at the Lansing City Market.  I'm sure there will be future posts on this blog about my experience working with these amazing people.

P.S. I work at the Uncle John's Fruit House Winery tasting room. Free wine tasting? Can't go wrong there.
