Imagine....

Imagine a Local Foods Market. A big one. One serving hundreds of local farm families and local food vendors. One controlled to the extent only locally produced and/or locally processed food is all that can be offered for sale. A year around market. A market offering beef, pork, lamb, poultry, fish and specialty meats. A market selling fresh and processed fruits and vegetables. A market with local food restaurants. And a market that serves as an anchor to a vibrant, regional agricultural industry.

That’s what I imagine when I think about what’s needed to save The Great Fruit Belt of Southwestern Lower Michigan.
