One of the most exciting parts about spring and summer in West Michigan this year will be the opening of Downtown Market in Grand Rapids.

Today, Downtown Market announced a bakery will be joining them this summer.

Shelby Kibler is a former manager at the famous Zingerman's in Ann Arbor.  He will be bringing his own project, Field and Fire, to Downtown Market.

WZZM.com has more:

Field and Fire is described as a "high-end artisan bakery."

Kibler said:"The food scene in Grand Rapids is flourishing, with new craft breweries and farm-to-table restaurants, which makes it a great market for my style of artisan baking. Everything will be baked fresh, on-site, every morning. Imagine baskets filled with warm, crusty loaves right from the oven, crackling as they cool, it will add to the complete sensory experience within the Market."

Another reason to be excited about summer in Grand Rapids!
