The Great Lakes EXPO Farm Market Bus Tour visited five northwest Michigan area locations featuring a variety of agritourism attractions, crops and products.
On Dec. 8, nearly 150 participants packed three buses and visited these Mitten State specialty crop, farm market and agritourism operations:
MSU Extension Muskegon Food, Agriculture, Research and Manufacturing (FARM) Accelerator and Food Hub
Lewis Adventure Farm & Zoo
Country Dairy
Cherry Point Market
Rennhack Orchards Market
Many bus tour attendees operate farm markets and orchards across the country, and the yearly event provided an opportunity to share ideas and network with like-minded growers and marketers.
The bus tour was sponsored by Vegetable Growers News’ parent company, Great American Media Services, Michigan State University Extension and the Great Lakes Fruit, Vegetable & Farm Market EXPO.
