Plainsong Farm and Ministry grows vegetables and flowers on 12 Mile Road NE outside Rockford, then shares part of the harvest with neighbors facing food insecurity.

Rockford

Rockford Farmers Market runs Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., May through October, in the city lot behind the post office — enter off Main Street, across from Rocky's. Vendor turnout varies week to week, so the lineup of produce, baked goods, and local products shifts depending on who shows up. It's a straightforward small-town market, not a curated festival, which is part of its appeal for regulars.

Rockford

Rockford Brewing Company has poured craft beer in downtown Rockford since 2011, founded by Jeff Sheehan and Seth Rivard along the Rogue River and the White Pine Trail.

It sits at 4411 Plainfield Ave NE on the north side of Grand Rapids.

Solon Township's market runs Monday through Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., spring through fall, at Algoma Avenue and Wiersma Road near Cedar Springs.

Grand Rapids

When we decided to open a butcher shop, we thought a lot about how butcher shops were run and operated before the “industrial food revolution” after World War II, and took lessons from those who came before us. It made sense that with more and more people focusing on what they are eating, that we could go back to a simpler time when livestock was raised simply, locally, and sold purely. And so the focus became animals sourced from local farms that are naturally raising their animals, with no hor
