Horrocks Market Kentwood Michigan – Visit Spring!

Horrocks Market is like a visit to spring time in Kentwood 

by Bonnie and Terry Westbrook

Take a moment and let’s look at what they have to offer:

Fresh Flowers, Fresh Vegetables & Fruits, Meats & Dairy, Deli, Garden & Homes Supplies,

Pet Supplies, Gifts & Home Accessories, Floral for Weddings, and a Book & Candy Corner.

In the spring & summer they have outdoor  plants and trees for your garden and yard.

orth a visit any time of year, but especially in the dead of winter.

Horrock’s Market is located at 4455 Breton Road at the intersection

of 44th St and Breton in Kentwood, Michigan. The glass green house soars into

the sky and it is easy to spot just south of 44th Street.

The array of fresh flowers, fresh fruits and vegetables is impressive. They always have weekly

specials on some items of their produce. It is hard to resist bringing it all home, it looks so delicious.

Here are a few photos  that tell the story better than I could:

These exotic vegetables are always intriguing, we tried the Blue Peruvian Potatoes

on the far right – tasty but odd to see purply-blue potatoes on your plate.

We skipped the eco malanga on the left, not knowing what it is and  how to use it.

Maybe next time we are at Horrocks in Kentwood, after we do a  little veggie research.

We like to use local companies. We like to know the people who work there.

We feel supporting local businesses is the right thing to do and the way

to make our area prosperous.  In over 35 years of doing business in the

Greater Grand Rapids real estate market, we have seen lots of businesses

 come & go.

We salute those businesses that tow the line every day. They go to work and

make our lives easier, better, warmer, colder, they fulfill our needs, whatever

they may be. They do this every day and serve their community by being

experts in their specific fields.  Jacobson Heating & Cooling is a company

Jacobson Heating & Cooling is one of those local companies that

 we are grateful we can call.  If you wake up and your furnace isn’t working,

Jacobsons Heating & Cooling will send an expert out to give you the good

news (it can be repaired) or the bad news (it can’t be repaired and you need

a new furnace).  Yikes, is the credit card full?
