The Michigan Organic Food & Farm Alliance (MOFFA) is preparing its Guide to Michigan’s Organic and Ecologically Sustainable Growers and Farms.  Contact them asap to have your farm included.
 
MOFFA plans to publish the guide as a hardcopy edition as well as online at MOFFA’s website, www.moffa.net.  The 2013 edition will focus solely on growers.  In future editions they will add other resources — farmers’ markets, restaurants, retail outlets, distributors, suppliers, etc.  While organic certification is not a steadfast requirement, they intend that all farms listed follow organic and sustainable growing practices.
 
To be included in the guide, you will need to submit a Grower Information Form.  This form is available:

• as a .pdf file which you may download and print
• as an interactive form which can be filled out directly on the website
• by calling 248-262-6826 to request a form be mailed to you (please leave a message with your name and address and mention the Grower Information Form)

Please invite others to join the guide — complete information is available at http://www.moffa.dynamicpages.com/GrowerGuideLetter.html
