I received this as an email and thought I'd pass it along ...
If every household started spending just $10 per week of their current grocery budget on locally grown foods, we’d keep more than $37 million each week circulating within Michigan’s economy.* Even if you're not a Michigander, if you see these brands on your store shelves how 'bout giving us a helping hand by buying Michigan products??
