This Saturday we’ll be even healthier than usual at the Market
This Saturday promises to be a very healthy day at the Farmers Market.
It begins at 8 a.m. – an hour before our 9 a.m. starting time – with a free dance fitness class led by Susan Marie from Dance 2BeFit. The class will feature fun music, including current pop, Bollywood and more, in Riley Park. It’s all part of Farmington Fit, a summer-long program from the Farmington Downtown Development Authority. Click here for more info.
Complete your morning workout by shopping the Market – the produce the farmers bring gets better every Saturday. And then join our Walkabouts for a one-mile walk to Shiawassee Park for a presentation on the history of Our Lady of Sorrows School, given by Walkabout member and OLS Principal Kathie Ambrose. The group leaves at 10 a.m. from the Market’s West Entrance across from Dagwood’s.
Khalil Gupton touches all the bases
The Farmers Market is happy to welcome its next LOC Credit Union student entrepreneur.
He is Khalil Gupton, who will be 14 years old this summer and is excited to start 9th grade at Farmington High School in the fall.
Khalil is not only a student entrepreneur, but he is also a professional musician AND a student-athlete. He established his business, Khalil’s Kones, in 2023 at his church in an effort to learn about business and stewardship.
Khalil pairs locally grown fruit with fun toppings inside a waffle cone, creating a refreshing treat.
“I like to support local farmers because the food is healthier and it helps the community,” he said.
Exactly what the Farmers Market is all about! Welcome, Khalil!
