SEED TO FEED

Hello everyone! Hope all is going well and your gardens are looking GREAT!

Today like to update you on a project we've been working on and feel really proud about. We partnered up with Forgotten Harvest to hand out seeds for our SEED TO FEED program.

What the program is you, the customer, sign's up and plants vegetable seeds. We will have dates listed on our website that Forgotten Harvest plans on picking up the produce. On those days or the day before bring in the produce you've grown and drop it off at Eckert's. With your help Forgotten Harvest will distribute the produce to their clients in the metro Detroit area to help those in need.

We have a lot of seeds left; squash, beets, carrots, pumpkin and zucchini! So come in today and grow some seeds! Also our summer sales has begun, so do you have a spot that needs color? A basket that's lost its 'oomph'? Then come on in today! You'll never know what will be on sale next!
