Localvores!
It's the best time of year to eat local!
The markets are filling up with fresh greens, sweet
blueberries, crisp brocolli and more. Check
here for
places to get your localvore fix.
We hope you'll continue to choose locally grown foods
whenever you can.
We'll help you with
recipes and
places to buy locally grown foods.
Why
eat local?
For the economy—When
you support local farmers, more of your money stays in
the community
For the environment—Typically,
food on the average Michigan plate has traveled 1,500
miles! After transportation, food choices have the
biggest impact on the environment and energy use.
For your health—You
can feel safer about your food when it comes from local
sources. You can even go check it out and see if
it measures up to your standards.
