Food

West Michigan COOPThe West Michigan Co-op farmers proudly present Green Food Bluegrass. West Michigan Cooperative is the region's first online farmers' market–providing a way for local farmers and consumers to stay connected throughout the year.

You’ll be able to enjoy a wide range of summer picnic fare: brats, grilled chicken, fresh fruit, ice cream, pie, and more. Bring the family and stay for the day.
