Great Lakes Gourds

05/24/2026

This past week we have been super busy restocking different items. Tomorrow, at the New Baltimore Farmers Market, we will have a couple puzzle designs that are new to the market including a new puzzle altogether. We will also have a bunch of new birdhouses for you to choose from. (The little birdies in our houses at home are getting closer to leaving the nests! At that point we suspect the wrens will beginning to come sing their song for us while they build their summer home)

You will see some modifications to our baked goods tomorrow. Last week, we found out some of the items we have been offering were not allowed under updated Cottage Food Law guidelines, so we had to pull them from our lineup. Do not fret it was only a couple of items and we were able to pivot and create something new. We are also working on finishing a batch of bagels tonight to bring to market in the morning. The rain should be moving out for the length of the market and be a beautiful day. Come to the corner of Washington and Main in New Baltimore where will be set up until 2pm tomorrow!

If you are looking for the perfect Mother’s day gift we have restocked some birdhouses this week. We will also have a special treat for mothers that stop by our booth. Unfortunately, both items are limited so arrive early. All of us in our household wish all moms a very Happy Mother’s day!

Happy Saturday all! Hope everyone is having a beautiful Saturday.

Busy weekend for us as we divide and conquer. Matthew is hanging out and helping Schultz Concessions.LLC over for Half Way to Halloween in Ann Arbor.

Myself and the kids are home getting ready for the market. The cookies are finally done! So we are on to nuts, breads and muffins.

We can not wait to see you all tomorrow for the special second Sunday market at the New Baltimore Farmers Market! For now the kids are out playing while this round of cookies cools and get ready to package. See you all tomorrow!

Good morning Gourd lovers!

Today we are at Fraser High School Band Booster Spring Craft Show. This show is very dear to us because it is the district that our kids attend. Many of you know Christopher and tell us stories about how helpful he is. Well this show helps him. He may not be at the high school yet but he is very active at the Fraser Performing Arts Center. Many of his friends are here today volunteering to raise money for the band that hopefully he will be a part of in a couple years. Christopher along with his many friends will be performing at this very school in a couple weeks in the school’s production for Wizard of Oz. There are still a few seats left if you would like to attend. If you are not already busy today come out and support the band boosters, support Christopher and support the many vendors who are here doing the same. There are many of your favorite vendors from New Baltimore Farmers Market here today. We are here until 4pm. Thank you in advance for your support!

Browse details for The Wizard of Oz with Fraser High School, Fraser. View dates, ticket price, venue info, and more, and purchase tickets for this must-see event today.
