Beaverland Farms

Community-supported agriculture allows consumers to buy farm shares in exchange for regular access to a farmstead’s offerings. At Beaverland Farms, shareholders are provided weekly produce boxes filled with seasonal fruits and vegetables grown at the 2-acre Brightmoor homestead and farm. (You’ll also have the option to add in a pasture-raised, organic, frozen whole chicken if you’re interested.) Though deliveries begin April 17, metro Detroiters can begin buying shares today — early bird gets the, well, tomato?

Farmstop

Online grocery shopping has become increasingly popular in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. But few major retailers allow shoppers to support local farms while they’re scanning virtual aisles for their pantry needs. Farmstop, on the other hand, sources produce, meats, dairy products, and eggs from only sustainable, fair-trade, Michigan farms. If you’re looking for savory treats or baked goods, they’ve got you covered in the snack aisle, too.�� Farmstop; ��
