Food Dance Introduces New Market this Weekend

The Food Dance Market has been re-imagined and is being redesigned – open now to offer our guests sustainable, humanely raised meats such as house made sausages, cured meats, fresh ground beef, beef cuts, pork cuts and more (their very own little butcher shop)... and even more breads and savory baked goods, along with the same great pastries from their talented bakers.

“Our goal is to share with you the amazing ingredients we source from our family of purveyors,” says Food Dance owner, Julie Stanley. “We are VERY excited to offer our guests sustainable, humanely-raised meats such as house made sausages, cured meats, fresh ground beef, beef cuts, pork cuts and more (our very own little butcher shop)... and even more of our breads and savory baked goods, along with the same great pastries from our talented bakers.”

In addition, Food Dance will offer more of prized-ingredients: olive oil, Anson Mill’s polenta, vinegars, condiments, fresh ground spices and pastas, as well as a selection of wines and local beers.

The Food Dance friendly market staff is also available to handle carry-out orders, help customers put together American cheese and meat boards, or help gusts find the perfect gift for all the foodie friends, no matter the occasion.

Food Dance creates opportunities for people to come together and connect through the experience of food. We passionately cook with the freshest locally produced ingredients and believe in giving great, caring service, and providing great experiences for everyone we come in contact with.

Michigan Wine Goes Viral: CherriesAndGrapes.com

Cherries & Grapes, a Michigan-based business, launched an online marketplace in August offering a variety of Michigan wine and specialty products. Consumers can now have their favorite wine, cider and specialty products shipped directly from Michigan producers on the CherriesAndGrapes.com marketplace. Likewise, Michigan businesses can now easily and safely offer their products online, with no upfront cost.

“We are doubling down on Michigan,” says the Cherries & Grapes Team. “Anyone that has spent time in our great state knows that Michigan has amazing products and wonderful people. We’re putting our money on that winning combination.”

Wineries and cider producers are now able to quickly get up-and-running with CherriesAndGrapes.com, complete with automated ID verification and logistics assistance.

“We like to think that we make life easier for Michigan businesses that want to sell online,” representatives from Cherries & Grapes says. “The best part is that producers avoid the headaches of developing their own solution, and leverage the collective marketing and technology experience offered by Cherries & Grapes.”

According to Michael Mikhjian, Cherries & Grapes Chief Technology Officer, a store can be online and processing orders in a day or two.

Cherries & Grape’s first online retail store is Chateau de Leelanau, a Michigan Vineyard and Winery located just north of Traverse City on the Leelanau Peninsula.

“Chateau de Leelanau has award-winning wines, but they are not available outside their tasting room in Suttons Bay,” comments the team. “By offering their wines on CherriesAndGrapes.com, they are able to deliver wine to customers anywhere in Michigan in a very cost-effective way.”

In addition to providing an online storefront, Cherries & Grapes also promotes its partners on various social media platforms and via other marketing channels.

Companies interested in featuring their wine, cider and specialty products on CherriesAndGrapes.com should email: Info@CherriesAndGrapes.com.
