Shopping local has never been more important to help support the small businesses in our community during these challenging times, and we’ve got a gift idea that delivers big flavors in small packages.
Small Batch Detroit makes tasty snacks from products made in Michigan. They are offering a holiday box that could be great for those looking for a fruitful - sweet treat.
The holiday box is filled with their Slow Jams jam and Mitten Bites granola bars which feature Michigan fruits and sugars.
Small Batch is run by alumni from the Detroit Food Academy. Students from third grade to seniors in high school have a chance to engage and learn how to cook in an afterschool program. Because of the pandemic, the program is offered virtually. When students sign up they will receive a weekly delivery of groceries and cooking utensils so they can make creations while being trained by Metro Detroit chefs on Zoom.
To sign your child up for virtual afterschool cooking courses and to purchase your Small Batch holiday boxes visit the Detroit Food Academy website. You can also purchase Small Batch products at Eastern Market.
