The farmers market started the year in mid-season form by welcoming 4,287 people opening day on May 8. This past Saturday brought 4,423 shoppers to downtown Farmington.
We typically do not see this level of attendance until the sweet corn comes in. And that sweet corn is about ankle high right now, just to give you an idea of the rollicking start we’re enjoying.

A New Hudson man with multiple felony warrants out in two counties, including Livingston, has been arrested in Oakland County.
Deputies with the Oakland County Sheriffâs Office responded to a call just after 9:30pm, Saturday, at the 30400 block of Milford Road in Lyon Township. While in the area, they had observed a vehicle that was carrying a 21-year-old man from New Hudson in the passenger seat.
The suspect, unidentified in the Sheriffâs Office report, had multiple felony warrants out for his arrest from Livingston and Macomb counties.
Officers initiated a traffic stop and directed the subject to exit the vehicle, but he refused to do so. As deputies attempted to remove him, he physically resisted, and then tried to run away. A deputy hit him with two Taser shots that were ineffective, but they were eventually able to handcuff him.
