The 2008 Michigan Farm Market and Agricultural Tourism Directory is a guide to farm markets, u-pick operations and agricultural tourism destinations throughout the state, and includes an availability chart showing when the various types of fresh fruits and vegetables produced in Michigan are in season.

In addition, the directory has a separate listing for community or municipally sponsored farmers' markets in your area. It's a great way to shop for a variety of products from local farmers in one place!

The 2008 directory was created by a partnership among the Michigan Farm Marketing & Agri-Tourism Association (MI-FMAT), Farm Bureau Insurance, Michigan Farm Bureau, and the MDA.

Copies of the directory are available at all 13 Michigan Welcome Centers and at Farm Bureau Insurance agencies across the state. For the Farm Bureau Insurance agent nearest you, visit www.farmbureauinsurance-mi.com.

The Michigan Farm Marketing & Agri-Tourism Association has an online, searchable database at www.michiganfarmfun.com. Visit the website to search by product, county or region to find your favorite fresh Michigan produce. You can also download a printable PDF of the directory from the website.
