Holland, Michigan is on the Eastern Shore of Lake Michigan.
It's 8th Street Farmer's Market is open Wednesday & Saturday mornings from May-October.
It's early in the season, so not too busy yet.
June is the beginning of the Strawberries.
The vendors are friendly and helpful. Did you know it takes a gallon of water to produce 1 quart of Strawberries?
These are the hands of a man who works for a living. This is not his hobby.
This early in the season, there are more flowers than actual produce.
Hanging baskets bring the colors of Spring home.
Herbs and young plants are also available to bring home and transplant.
Consistent wind from Lake Michigan helps power the market.
It wouldn't be complete without some tasty baked goods.
Provided by local Mennonites.
Artisan Goat milk soaps.
And a variety of smiles.
