U.P. Local Food Guide
Our U.P. Farm Directory is undergoing a massive redesign–into a U.P. Local Food Guide! We’re working to bring you the most comprehensive publication yet, including farms, farmers markets, and community gardens. Over the last several months our Outreach Department has been contacting dozens of listings that are being added right now. Thanks for your patience, and look for the 2012 U.P. Local Food Guide soon!

This directory is designed to highlight sustainable Upper Peninsula farms that sell their products and services directly to the general public. It is a “producer-only” directory which means that the farms included must grow, raise, or gather their own products. For purposes of this directory, the entire Upper Peninsula is considered “local”. Producers of herbs, vegetables, fruit, plants, flowers, honey, maple syrup, fiber, and hay are included.
The directory is organized by county and updated on a regular basis. Still, you may run into incorrect or outdated information from time to time. If this is the case, we would appreciate you letting us know. Additionally, if you would like to be listed in the directory, fill out the appropriate form(s): farm application, market application, or community garden application. If you have questions, please contact Kelly at outreach@marquettefood.coop or 906-225-0671 ext. 26.
The Marquette Food Co-op has made no attempt to verify the information provided by the farms regarding their products and practices. It is up to you, the consumer, to do the research on where your food comes from. You are encouraged to visit the farms, ask questions, support local, and enjoy eating the bounty provided here in the beautiful U.P.
You may obtain print copies of this directory by visiting the Marquette Food Co-op located at 109 W. Baraga Avenue in Marquette, MI 49855.
