They will be offering syrup in your typical plastic maple bottles (in sizes 32 0z., 16 oz and 100 ml/3.4 oz...which can pass the flying cut-off he is told!). They aslo have decorative glass bottles , maple cream and maple candy...you name it and they do it in "Maple"!  Don and his family run the business themselves and will supply any special orders you may have. Just talk to us here at The People's Market and we will arrange it for you within a 1-2 week window of time.

The Chicken is here...

Tom Quinn notified us this morning that he will be here to sell his chicken at The People's Market this afternoon. He will be here from 4:30-6:30 and will be selling the last of this season's "chicken inventory". For circumstances beyond our control we are unable to sell Tom Quinn's Irish Hill chickens through The People's Market. Thank you to our loyal customers!

Welcome Schoolyard SugarBush Maple syrup from Moravia!

The People's Market is now carrying products from Schoolyard SugarBush...they will have several different sizes of decorative Maple Syrup bottles that are great for the holidays... as well as Pure Maple Cream,  jugs of Maple Syrup, and Maple Candy.  
Don Weeds (Dad) stopped is to drop off the items and we had a nice visit and talked of running a business in "the family". (They also own and run New Hope Mills Pancakes). We were encouraged when we met him that they too run a business with primarily their family members (and in our case vendors and family members) running it. It is hard at times but very rewarding! He told us funny stories of family members "hiding" the Maple Cream in the fridge so the other family members couldn't find it! I nicely asked him to get a little more out of the truck because I was going to buy one of them myself!
We are glad they will be offering their items here at The People's Market of Lansing. To learn more about Schoolyard Sugarbush go to their website at www.schoolyardsugarbush.org . Don said they would be able to offer and honor "special orders" through The People's Market should a customer want a special item in a specific bottle (light, med or dark maple Syrup) etc...They would just need 1-2 weeks notice. We look forward to bringing you Maple Syrup this season, Welcome Sugarbush!

Paul's Munson's family honors him and shares his creations with us!

Julia Munson and her family came to The People's Market (just the Saturday after Paul's service!) and brought a selection of Paul's handmade bowls and cutting boards.  They shared with us the families wishes to have his items be sold...as he himself was so looking forward to doing. I was touched that so soon after his passing that they had the strength to bring his items to us. We are honored to be selling his handcrafted items...each one numbered, dated and signed with love. Stop in and check out his work...and you will see why I wouldn't let him leave the store without promising to bring us more of his precious items.
