Grand River Grocery will host “LIVE! and Local” a day devoted to celebrating Michigan products with demonstrations and tastings by local and Michigan food producers on Friday, September 17, noon to 8 PM from their location at 496 Ada Dr., in the Village of Ada.
“LIVE! and Local gives our customers a chance to meet the incredible medley of people who pour their passion and expertise into making outstanding products. As a market team, we are committed to supporting local foods and local farmers . . . this day is dedicated to those food artisans from around the state, many of whom reside in West Michigan,” said Georgia Gietzen, Grand River Grocery Proprietor.
Food purveyors will set up in the parking lot and throughout the market from noon to 5, there will be a special grill menu at lunch and dinner featuring local and Michigan products, live music in the afternoon and evening, and a beer tent featuring Short’s Brewing Company. From 2-6 PM Cornel Olivier and Chris Baldyga from 2 Lads Winery will be on hand in the “tasting” tent sharing their award winning wines from Old Mission Peninsula.
