FARMINGTON
INDEPENDENCE WEEK
CELEBRATION

FEB 6 – Feb 10, 2024

Farmington, MICHIGAN

Lindsay Kennedy, owner of Dolcetto Cheese & Specialty Goods, loves to “get weird,” she says, so she decided to host a celebration of Dolcetto’s anniversary of becoming a shop independent of the former franchise it was part of, The Cheese Lady. From Feb. 6 through 10, stop by the shop in downtown Farmington for wine and food tastings, music, giveaways from local businesses and more. Participating Farmington businesses include Never Forgotten Bakery, MassageLuxe, Dearborn Music, Bodhi Yoga and more. Also, you can try your hand at the “art of the wheel” contest and decorate a cheese container for display in the shop.

The spirits are distilled in a 20,000-square-foot facility in Ferndale, and the nearby lounge crafts and sells cocktails made with it. You may know Valentine for its vodka, but it also makes bourbon, rye whisky and gin.

Sydney Bogg’s Sweet Essentials

Sydney Bogg’s Sweet Essentials

X marks the spot—literally—at Sydney Bogg’s Sweet Essentials in Berkley. If you see an X on the top of a Sydney Bogg’s chocolate, you know it’s the confectioner’s signature homemade caramel. For over 19 years in their Berkley location, Lisa Peasley and her brother-in-law, Gary Schlicker, have been chief cooks, bottle washers and hand-dippers of their award-winning artisan chocolates including #1 seller turtles. Premium chocolates include truffles, creams, barks, toffees, nonpareils and their best-selling nutty butter corn. With a variety of specialty or novelty gifts for Valentine’s Day, take home hand-decorated chocolate Oreos or turtle hearts starting in individual sizes to 3-pound boxes. You can even skip the recycling of the box and opt for an edible chocolate box instead.
