Why Local Organic Food?
Freshness & Taste. Locally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually harvested within 24 hours of being purchased. Local Farmers grow and raise
foods for their taste and nutrition, not for durability in harvest, shipping or
storage.
Nutrition. Nutritional value declines as time passes after harvest. Because
locally-grown food is fresh, it is more nutritionally complete. Studies indicate
that organically grown produce has more of certain nutrients.
Cost. Our globalized food system produces cheap food, but it costs more
than you think. We all pay the price when Farmers can’t grow crops at a
profit, when water wells are contaminated by agricultural chemicals, and
when store-bought foods look good, but are tasteless. When you buy local,
organic foods, you get more for your money.
Eating Organically
A Guide to Michigan’s
Organic and Local Farms
and Related Businesses
Avoid the Unknown. Produce grown with banned pesticides is imported
into the United States. Meat may come from animals raised in confinement
and fed hormones or antibiotics. Organic foods are produced and processed under special standards. Organically-raised animals have outdoor
access and don’t get antibiotics or hormones. Organic crops are grown
without the use of toxic chemicals and without GMOs.
Regional Food Self-Reliance. Dependence on distant and global food
sources leaves us vulnerable to supply disruptions. When you buy foods
from local Farmers , you create a relationship of mutual support that enhances a community’s economic vitality, and keeps family farms alive.
Protect the Environment and your Health. Farming with pesticides and
synthetic fertilizers can cause water pollution, and leave unwanted pesticide
residues on the food we feed our families. You can protect our natural resources, your health and improve the environment by choosing local, organic foods.
Eating Organically is provided as educational information for use by
the general public. This booklet may be reproduced in its entirety for
public, noncommercial use provided that credit is given to MOFFA.

Alliance
2008 Edition
What is MOFFA?
Join MOFFA
Show Your Support for Local, Organic Foods
The Michigan Organic Food & Farm Alliance is
a non profit membership organization dedicated to promoting local, organic food that is
good for our communities.
Our members are part of a growing network of
concerned citizens who care about how food is
grown and where it comes from. We see local
organic food and farms as a viable, vibrant alternative to the unsustainable, industrialized
food system all around us.
Since 1992, we have worked to raise public
awareness about the need for a decentralized,
earth-and people-friendly food system.
We support Michigan’s organic Farmers , encourage other Farmers to adopt organic practices and to become certified, and
create opportunities for local markets. We educate and encourage retailers,
consumers and others in the food system to buy and eat locally-produced organic foods.
Through publications, conferences, workshops, community festivals and other
outreach efforts, we are working to enhance the supply of, and demand for,
Michigan organic foods. MOFFA sponsors an annual organic conference in
spring. We participate in several regional harvest festivals, and organic conferences and events to promote local organic food and farming.
MOFFA invites everyone who shares our vision to help us create a better food
future for Michigan. Join as a member, or make a contribution to support our
continued work. Go to the back of this Guide for a membership form and more
information, or visit our website at www.moffa.org
Be a part of a growing network of concerned citizens who care about healthy
food, how it is grown and where it comes from.

I pledge to
Spend at least 10% or $10 of my weekly food budget on
locally grown and made organic foods and/or those carrying the Michigan Farmers Pledge.
Buy food directly from local farms that are either certified
organic or have signed the Michigan Farmers Pledge as
often as possible.
Choose local organic or Farmer’s Pledge foods when possible and other local foods when those are not available.
Learn to eat seasonally, enjoying fruits and vegetables at
their proper time.
Encourage locally owned food businesses to buy local organic and farmers pledge products and patronize them
when they do.
Try at least one new locally grown fruit or vegetable each
week.
Preserve fresh seasonal foods to enjoy later in the year
(freeze, can, dehydrate).
Plan at least one meal each week featuring local organic
or farmers pledge foods for family, friends or neighbors.
Choose regionally grown/produced and/or fair trade foods
when organic or farmers pledge local foods are not available.
About Eating Organically
Change week-to-week, during a season or from year-to-year.
The Michigan Organic Food and Farm
Alliance (MOFFA) first published Eating
Organically in 1995, one of Michigan’s
first guides to organic and local foods.
This is our sixth edition.
Although we reviewed these listings,
MOFFA has not verified or validated
the farm and business information.
The Guide has 403 listings for farms,
farmers markets and related businesses, including 71 certified organic
farms. This is not a complete list of all
farms, markets and businesses offering
local, organic foods in Michigan. We
have included those businesses that
made information available to us. If your
business is not listed and you would like
to be included in the future, contact us.
If your farm or business information is
incorrect, please let us know.
Finding an organic farm. Under the
federal National Organic Program
(NOP), a farm can market its products
as organic only if they are certified
(unless exempt under the rule).
Certification is a process that requires
farms to follow certain production
practices, keep records, and be inspected by an independent certification agency. Farms that sell less than
$5000 per year may be exempt from
the requirement for certification, but
are still required to follow all recordkeeping and other rules of the NOP.
Because we know people are looking
for quality foods grown or raised without
toxic chemicals, hormones or antibiotics, in ways that protect the earth and
support local communities, we have
included notes from farms or businesses that describe their approach and
philosophy. Certified organic farms are
We have identified those who are certified organic with a special symbol,
and we list the name of their certification agency. Certification information
can change; ask about current certification status.
highlighted with this symbol:
Farms that are not certified organic
sometimes say they follow organic
practices, or they may have the word
‘organic’ in their farm name. This
is not the same as being a certified
organic farm, so ask questions. If you
have concerns about use of pesticides, fertilizers, synthetic chemicals,
hormones or other animal treatments,
ask the farmer to explain his or her
practices. Most Farmers will be glad
to have an informed and interested
customer.
Tips for Using This Guide
Search by county. This Guide includes
listings for farms, farmers markets and
local businesses that offer organic/local
food or related products and services.
Information is organized by county (see

counties.) If there are no listings for your
county, consider those in surrounding
areas.
Call before you go. Before you visit
any location, call to confirm their information. We included details about farm
products, locations, business hours, etc.
based on information provided by the
businesses, but these details can

Michigan Farmer’s Pledge
MOFFA strongly encourages all farmers who are committed to
the principles of organic farming and who follow organic practices to certify their farms with a certifying agency that is accredited with the USDA National Organic Program. MOFFA also
understands that for valid personal, philosophical, and political
reasons, many farmers do not wish to have their farms and their
practices associated with the National Organic Program.
MOFFA also understands that many farms in transition would
appreciate having a “Michigan label” that represents their philosophy and practices.
This is why the MOFFA Board decided to propose a Michigan
Farmer’s Pledge. This pledge was created by the Northeast
Organic Farming Association-New York (NOFA-NY) and with
their approval MOFFA has adapted the Pledge for Michigan
farmers. This pledge is not a substitute for certification, but for
the reasons noted above, it does offer an opportunity for some
Michigan Farmers to identify and promote their ecological practices. For a small fee, we hope to be able to make this pledge
available during 2008.
Michigan Eater’s Pledge
If some farmers sign the Farmer’s Pledge, then MOFFA also
suggests that eaters should pledge something back to Michigan
farms.
