This week I wanted to take the kids somewhere to celebrate fall, but it’s been so rainy and windy lately that we’ve found it hard to do anything outdoors. It was definitely time for a visit to 101 Market in Otsego!
101 Market, started as a small greenhouse over 20 years ago and has expanded over the years to become a full-fledged home and garden center. In the fall, it’s a great local destination for family fun! In the greenhouses you’ll find row after row of pumpkins—all sizes and colors!—plus Indian corn, gorgeous mums, and lots of other fall decor.
