The freshest produce can be found right in Leelanau County, and with most summer CSA shares (community supported agriculture) available starting this month, there are more than enough options for residents to partake in during the best growing season of the year.
While each season brings its own vibrant harvest, summer is a great time to take advantage of many local farmers’ produce that are grown either right in the county or in Michigan.
MI Farm Co-Op, an online marketplace of locally grown and produced food, is one organization that makes it possible for buyers to gain access to healthy, fresh produce distributed by farms in the area on a weekly basis. The co-op’s seasonal CSA program is unique as those that buy any of the weekly options will have access to a variety of produce — whether its vegetables, meats, eggs, or bread — from multiple farms depending on your preference.
