Wholesalers, Retailers, Farmers Markets, Restaurants and in our case, even a gas station, Beaver Island has a range of food distributors that provide our residents with sustenance. At this stage in our research, we need a better understanding of types of food, quantities, and more importantly, how locally grown produce can fulfill nutritional needs in our community. Our first priority is to ensure that the 600 year round residents are provided for. As our micro-farming concept begins to regenerate the land where more crops can be offered, we’ll then turn to scaling up to meet the demands of our busy season! If you are involved in food distribution in any respect, we would love to have your input! Take this survey to help us learn more about. Below are just a few benefits that will come from contributing to our research.
