Spring is here, and at Aster we welcome it with open arms.
Our patio–– brand new and set up to accommodate dinner service–– will be ready soon, and we can’t wait to invite guests to sample our seasonal offerings on Ashman as the days march towards summer.
And speaking of seasonality: we dreamed up Aster not only as a restaurant, but as a community where we can share plates that represent all that Michigan has to offer with our friends and neighbors. Brand new to our menu is the ramp –– a plant that has been described as a cross between a horseradish and an onion.
Ramps are indgienous to the Midwest, and grow wild throughout the region–– in the Miami-Illinois language, the ramp is known as chicagou, and early French settlers adopted the word for what we now know as the city of Chicago. We hope our guests will love finding ramps in our steak chimichurri, and later this year in dishes that will use the vegetable after it is pickled and canned.
And as we continue our mission of sustainability, we’re glad to have teamed up with local composters, and are committed to recycle our fryer oil waste–– we’re so happy our guests have loved Aster’s waffle fries, every batch helps make sustainable, and environmentally friendly biodiesel.
Lastly, we’re so thankful to everyone who has chosen to celebrate Father’s Day with us. This marks our very first brunch, one that we hope is the first of many holidays we will share together. From our family to yours, thank you so much for the support you’ve shown Aster over the past year. We’ll see you on Ashman!

St. Brigid Catholic School Brings Community Garden to Downtown
Come & Continue to Grow With Us!
Students at St. Brigid Catholic School recently planted their first ever community garden, located directly in front of the school building on Ashman St. The project was planned and implemented by the current 5th grade class as they get ready to transition to middle school in the Fall, but students from all grades help plant the garden. When students return to school in the Fall, they will be able to see how much their plant(s) have grown, as well as themselves. Students will be able to work as a class to harvest the garden, and it can be utilized in the school kitchen for student lunches and/or donated to local community organizations. During the growing period, certain crops will be available to be harvested by the community.
For more information regarding the garden, please contact Sara Groth at sgroth@stbrigid-midland.org
For more information regarding St. Brigid Catholic School, please contact Laura Wilkowski, Principal at lwilkowski@stbrigid-midland.org or (989) 835-9481
