We've added a fridge to bring more local foods and items to our customers!    We've got cheese coming, valentine cheesecakes for two...and that's just the beginning. We still have Fingerlakes granola, honey, sunflower oil, jams and jellies, maple syrup and organic beef and don't forget the eggs!  The chickens are laying!

big Thank You...to the community!

"The People" of The People's Market would like to thank those who remembered to shop local. We had a wonderful two days of sales and are very excited for our vendors! We initially thought we would be low on inventory after Black Friday weekend...but after a couple of great days of sales we still have LOTS of inventory!
It was exciting to see may people from the community stop in to shop and for some... see The People's Market for the first time. We had lots of positive feedback and people are just amazed at what they find when they walk through the doors of The People's Market. There is a lot of really great local talent and we are lucky to have them as vendors...after all it is people creating items for the people, but also people helping people... that is a big component of shopping local. Keeping our money in the area helps our community and strengthens us. Lets stay strong together in these tight financial times. Thank you again!

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.

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!
