“The Good Food Program is helping develop a predictable market for Michigan farmers so that they can thrive during a turbulent time for the agriculture industry. Connecting farmers in our state to the people who live, work and play here helps all Michiganders.”
- Kelly McClelland Horton, educator for Extension community food systems in Genesee County, on Good Food’s efforts to get Michigan food served in our cafeterias at Bendle Public Schools and at institutions across the state.
