I can vouch for the Meridian Farmer's Market and the Lansing City Market - I'm heading to Meridian tomorrow morning.

Don't forget that next week is the Eat Local Challenge!

There is a Farmer's Market in Mason (downtown) on Saturday mornings....stop by and you must also stop in my favorite coffee shop, Bestsellers (owned by a democratic woman).

Michigan State also has an amazing Organic Farm that hosts a farmer's market in front of the MSU auditorium from 11-3 every Thursday afternoon. Check it out--it's wonderful!
