Spend 10

Research has shown that if northwest Michigan households spent just $10 a week on local farm foods, our regional economy would gain nearly $5 million in new revenue each year. This is something we all can do!

455 people have made the pledge!

That adds up to $236,600 a year!
12 businesses are participating, too! How about yours?
