This month at Smith Crossing, the dining department hosted
Farmer’s Market for our residents and employees. With the assistance of Midwest Foods,
residents and employees were able to shop for fresh produce. Champagne grapes, guava, and rambutans drew
much attention from the crowd, but the best sellers were peaches, plums, and
mangos. The Farmer’s Market was a huge success.
Getting staff involved and engaged, our brand new Morrison Chef Caitlin Hastings and her crew pulled off a successful Farmer's Market benefiting the Activities department. New this year, we served up sack lunches with a fresh made sub and beverage--a hit with both the Nursing Staff and Resident's family members. After all that nutritious food, most associates followed it up with a piece of pie!

It was a GORGEOUS day here at NorthPointe Woods today! Chef Niocle chose the most perfect day to grill out in the courtyard! Our wonderful café team of Autumn & Hanna defiantly kept busy! We also had a mini farmer’s market with fresh fruit, vegetables and fresh baked sticky buns & cookies! We had great participation from both residents and staff! We are loving the sunshine here at NorthPointe Woods!
