Select Michigan Partners:

This year's "Buy Fresh, Buy Local - Select Michigan Day" sponsors are:

Michigan Food & Farming Systems (MIFFS)
MIFFS has been involved with Select Michigan Day for the past three years, since it was first passed as a resolution in the House of Representatives. MIFFS has been celebrating and promoting the event and will have a booth at the July 24 and September 18 markets in Lansing.

Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDA)
MDA hosts the Select Michigan program and has been behind the planning and execution of this year's main events and last year's farmers market on the Capitol lawn. They have been a strong supporter and partner in this work from the beginning.

Michigan Farmers Market Association (MIFMA)
MIFMA is getting involved with the farmers market events throughout the state and encouraging farmers markets to promote the day and focus on Michigan-produced agricultural goods.

Food Bank Council of Michigan (FBCM)
The Michigan Harvest Gathering, a project of the FBCM, is planning its annual kick-off to coincide with September 18, and the FBCM will have a mobile pantry at the Capitol to highlight the work they do in statewide leadership to food banks to alleviate the hunger of Michigan families.
