A Marketing We Do Go: If you're wondering where the action is in Ann Arbor early on Saturday mornings, you might stop by Farmers' Market on Detroit Street. Shoppers swarm to the outdoor, roof-covered structure trying to arrive as closely as possible to the 7 a.m. opening hour to get their pick of the choicest flowers and produce.

Thinking Back: While 81-year-old Joseph Karmann thinks back on all the acquaintances he has made while selling at farmers' markets both here and in Detroit, his 80-year-old wife recalls the countless jars of jams and preserves she's put up to sell. The Karmanns make their home on Ford Road near Ypsilanti. Besides farming and growing fruit, Mr. Karmann cares for bees and raises seven peacocks. Mrs. Karmann, who does all of her own cooking, made 135 jars of jelly during a recent week.
