It's The Return Of Fall Flavor Weekends At Greenfield Village

DEARBORN (WWJ) - Greenfield Village celebrates the fall season with a bustling Farmer's Market and a schedule chock-full of cooking demonstrations during Fall Flavor Weekends, Sept. 24-25 and Oct. 1-2.

At the Farmer's Market, The Henry Ford's connection of local producers and growers bring only the best in home-grown, homemade products to the Village Pavilion, Saturday Sep. 24 and Oct. 1, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

From fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, honey, spices, meats and breads, nothing compares to these Michigan-made goods. Pick up some aromatic mint products from the Crosby Mint Farm or locally produced meat at the Ernst Farms booth. Get swept away with handmade brooms from Tschetter Brooms or purchase delicious baked goods from the Dearborn Animal Shelter to support a great cause.

Follow the aroma of harvest cooking as presenters, at the homes and farms in the village, cook up traditional fall recipes. Stop by the Susquehanna Plantation for stuffed planked fish, baked apple pudding and scalloped tomatoes, and at the Daggett Farmhouse see how beer brewing and bread making go hand in hand.
