Great story in the Battle Creek Enquirer about the growth of farmers markets, CSAs and interest in knowing the source of your food in Michigan.
The number of farmers markets in Mich. has increased from 90 to 160 in three years.
Farmgirl Pam Bosserd, of Bosserd Family Farm Market in Marshall Township, tells the paper she’s gone from selling sweet corn out of the back of her flat-bed to opening a daily market that sells flowers, grass-fed beef and fruits and veggies.
“It’s definitely become a trend, and I don’t think it’s a trend that’s going away,” she says.
We can only hope Bosserd is right.
