Growing Hope

Growing Hope manages and maintains Farmers Markets to increase access to healthy food in our communities. Growing Hope's commitment to providing improved lives and communities through greater access to healthy foods is most clearly demonstrated in the Farmers Markets we manage. By providing a venue for farmers, urban gardens, and other entrepreneurs, we contribute to local economies, developing our downtowns and strengthening our communities. Farmers Markets are essential to the vitality of local food systems and Growing Hope is proud to be a Michigan leader, well known for the strength of our programs.
