Agriculture

Agriculture us the 3rd largest industry in Michigan (trailing only manufacturing [oy vey] and tourism, respectively). Buying from local farmers and markets fuels our economy, while reducing out collective carbon footprint. Here is a list of the state's major commodities, which are commercially available:

apples, asparagus, beans, beef, bison, blueberries, carrots, celery, cherries, corn, cranberries, dairy, eggs, grapes, ginseng, green onions, honey, lamb, maple syrup, mint, onions, peaches, plums, pork, potatoes, poultry, rhubarb, soybeans, sugar, wine.

Many communities also hold farmer's markets seasonally, which are a great way to support local growers. Such markets often include a wider variety of fruits & vegetables than those listed above. For information regarding Farmer's Markets in your area, click here.
