We have literally THE BEST chicken in the state of Michigan, which comes so fresh-it will keep for 10 days in your fridge.  We supply raw organic cheese from Rosewood in Ann Arbor. Fresh bread? Yes, please. Although not organic, we carry Bread, by Crispelli’s amazing artisanal assortment of breads & buns.  We also offer Jake’s Country Meats, Baese Farm, Massey Fish Co. and more.
