Flat Rock Farmers Market Expands

August 8, 2011 By Joe Pagano

The Flat Rock Farmers Market brought a lot of folks to its new location.  The market continues at the new location at Huroc Park Located which is at Gibraltar and Arsenal Roads.  The Flat Rock DDA and Wayne-Metropolitan Community Action Agency, are trying to add some excitement to the market with some new vendors and a lot of returning vendors.  The market draws customers from the senior complex, from Huroc Park as walk or biked around the park, or drive through the park area.  The pictures tell the story.

The Flat Rock DDA, the events sponsor, is also bringing local entertainment. A local band, the Blues Crew played last Saturday while customers shop at the Local Michigan Grown favorite foods.

Please come back to the downtownflatrock.com web site for more information on the new vendors. 

We would like to see you’re your comment on our facebook page.

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
