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.

Miguel Arzate, general manager of Taques Bar and Grill in downtown Farmington, spoke passionately about this new restaurant. Designed with some “pizzazz” for date nights and celebrations, as well as casual nights out, the authentic Mexican eatery features enchiladas, street tacos and more unusual dishes like the al ambres, Taques’s version of fajitas; and the tampiquena, a combination plate with steak, an enchilada and a taco. Don’t forget to try the house margarita and signature drinks like the lemon drop martini and Oaxaca old fashioned.
Kal Jaafar is the owner/operator of La Pecora Nera in downtown Farmington, which debuted in August 2023. La Pecora Nera opened in Detroit in 2017 as an Italian deli featuring quality meats and cheeses, fresh vegetables, handcrafted dressings and fresh bread. The Farmington location has been well-received, with many patrons enjoying the eatery’s breakfast sandwiches, including the famous Detroiter. This fall, Jaafar looks forward to partnering with local businesses, enjoying the nearby pocket park and serving delicious soups, handmade by his business partner’s mother. Stop in for a sandwich like the popular Italiano, or just enjoy a coffee overlooking downtown Farmington.
Russell Hilgendorf, owner of Delightful Donuts in downtown Mount Clemens, was happy to talk to Local Business News about his fairly new business. His shop features a variety of donuts, including what he calls “everyday normal” donuts like Boston cream and glazed, but his bread and butter is out-of-the-ordinary finds like cherry and pumpkin cheesecake. His filled donuts, he explained, are not what you might expect. Instead of a round donut, he makes a donut shape and fills the entire ring, so you get filling in every bite. Stop by Wednesday through Sunday or call ahead for special orders Monday and Tuesday.
Local Business News caught up with Never Forgotten Bakery, which is carrying on the legacy of the longtime Sunflour Bakhaus in downtown Farmington. Located just a couple miles from the former Sunflour Bakhaus, Never Forgotten carries old world bread and German soft pretzels, based on Sunflour’s recipes, as well as cakes, cookies, cupcakes and more. Owner Michelle Neal made the leap to bakery ownership from the healthcare industry, opening Never Forgotten in January 2023. She hopes you’ll stop by soon, or look for her on Saturdays at the Farmington Farmers Market at the Dolcetto table.
