Grand Rapids Michigan 2011 Local Farmer’s Markets

Grand Rapids Michigan 2011 Local Farmer’s Markets

Michigan is an agricultural state. In fact, in agricultural products,

Michigan is second only to California among the diversity of its

products.  Agriculture and farming is a large segment of our local

West Michigan economy.

West Michigan is nationally known for its fruit production, including

blueberries, cherries, apples, grapes and peaches.  Add to this local

organic farmers that sell to local restaurants and grocery stores and

you can see how important growing food is to our local economy.

We like to support local businesses and farmers. Local produce

is the best!  So visit your local farmers’ Market, taste locally grown

food and support your local economy.  Fresh produce is here in Michigan

and available in most areas near you.
