Hasan and Ahmad Elbast, former owners of Sahara’s Middle Eastern restaurant have opened Tom’s Greenland Farm Market on South Cedar Street, selling organic produce for the same price as non-organic.
According to excerpts from the article:
Hasan opened Tom’s Greenland Farm Market, where Ahmad manages, on South Cedar Street at the location that previously housed Van Houghton’s, a longtime market in its own right.
Like its predecessor, Tom's also dabbles in more than fruits and vegetables. A few groceries and some bulk food items have places in the establishment, and after next week, when flats of pansies, potted gardenias and dozens of other spring flowers arrive, the front of the store will transform the concrete of the city into an oasis of bucolic serenity.
Ahmad Elbast buys his wares wholesale up to three times a week from Detroit’s Eastern Market.
