Get Healthy Saturday at The Old Winery Market in Farmington

Already a source of organic produce and foods, the Old Winery Market will focus its attention Saturday on good health. 

Market master Jean Smith said the Health Fair, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., will include blood pressure checks from representatives of Botsford Hospital, spinal screenings by Simply Chiropractic, complimentary 5-minute massages by D'Marie Therapeutic and helpful advice from nutritionist Renee Heigel. 

"We know that most people start the year off wanting to do something healthy, so we came up with the idea of having the health fair," Smith said. Organizers also hope the event gives people another reason to come to the market, in what is typically a slow month. 

Among the 37 vendors present will be Elderberry Heaven, a business that offers elderberry syrup. According to webmd.com, some studies have shown that elderberry extract can shorten the duration and ease symptoms associated with the flu. Another health-oriented vendor, Gourmet Everyday, offers high quality, healthful meals made with all natural ingredients, delivered to your door.
