West Michigan Growers' Group is a 501c3 non-profit that seeks to support local, sustainable farming in West Michigan. 

One of the ways you can support local farms is by purchasing a CSA share. 

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, which means you pay the farmer in the spring to enjoy a share of vegetables each week in the summer and fall.
