2025 GLEXPO Bus Tour

2 minute read
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.
