Farmers markets and farm stands are growing in popularity as people start to see the value in fresh, local foods that support good health, good people (the farmers), and good communities.
Today I enjoy a conversation with Tom and Vicki Zilke of Zilke Farm Stand ( zilkevegetablefarm.com
) and Zilke Farm Kitchen ( zilkefarmkitchen.com
), both located in Milan, MI.
I have been a customer there for years, and can personally attest to all the great things they are doing there. Tom and Vicki swapped successful first careers to grow veggies and serve the needs of the community.
Check out episode 45 to learn the value of local, seasonal produce, why you’ll never want to settle for supermarket produce if you don’t have to, and how 2 farmers can grow a community right along with their crops.
