MI Farm Co-op provides eggs, bread, veggies, honey, and more in a one-stop shop experience for CSA customers and wholesale buyers in NW Lower Michigan.

Farm collaboration is currently happening in new and innovative ways — this is not your grandmother’s farm and feed cooperative. Northwest lower Michigan's MI Farm Co-op is a farmer-owned cooperative founded in 2015 in Leelanau county. Its stated goal is to provide ways to sell and distribute the diverse variety of its members' products, in order to increase revenue for each member. The MI Farm Co-op leverages collaboration between members to offer a multi-farm CSA at seven pickup sites across their geographic region and to wholesale to restaurants and institutions such as schools.

We are hosting Nic Welty of 9 Bean Rows farm and the MI Farm Co-op for this Farm Cooperative Q&A virtual conference. Please join us if you are interested in learning how a cooperative works, how they are formed, and why they can benefit farm and food businesses.
